| The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v John Burke, Appellant. |
—[*1]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Eng, J.), rendered May 7, 2003, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. H. Miller, J.P., Adams, Spolzino and Fisher, JJ., concur.
