(§ 220.06 [5]). Viewing the evidence in light of the elements of the crimes as charged to the jury (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 , 349 [2007]), we conclude that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see generally People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 , 495 [1987]). Present — Smith, J.P, Carni, Lindley, Sconiers and Pine, JJ.
