People v. Hibrahim
Citations: 270 A.D.2d 499; 706 N.Y.S.2d 342; 2000 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 3243
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; March 26, 2000; New York; State Appellate Court
The defendant's appeal from a Supreme Court judgment in Queens County, which convicted him of second-degree burglary and fourth-degree criminal mischief following a jury trial, has been affirmed. The court found that the fingerprint evidence linking the defendant to the burglary established his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and effectively excluded all hypotheses of innocence. The defendant's claim regarding alleged reversible error in the jury charge was deemed unpreserved for appellate review and was not considered under the court's interest of justice jurisdiction. Additionally, the sentence imposed was ruled not to be excessive. The decision was concurred by Justices Santucci, Joy, Goldstein, and Schmidt.
