Crimes
- Larceny
- Grand Larceny in Fourth Degree
- Combined Value of Stolen Property
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M. Stolz, J.), rendered April 11, 2018, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of grand larceny in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 2 to 4 years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict convicting defendant of grand larceny in the fourth degree was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348 [2007]; see also People v Baque, 43 NY3d 26 [2024]). The store owner's testimony regarding both the wholesale and retail value of the stolen cell phones and the cost of replacing the stolen display-only phones supported the jury's conclusion that the combined values of the stolen property exceeded the statutory threshold of $1,000 (see Penal Law § 155.30 [1]; People v Irrizari, 5 NY2d 142, 146 [1959]; People v Coulibaly, 223 AD3d 536, 537 [1st Dept 2024], lv denied 41 NY3d 982 [2024]).
