PEOPLE v. FOWLER

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Nov 10, 2009

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning credibility. The victim gave a plausible account of the incident that was corroborated by other evidence. Although, in performing weight of evidence review, we may consider the jury's verdict on other counts ( see People v Rayam, 94 NY2d 557, 563 n [2000]), we find that the jury's mixed verdict does not warrant a different conclusion.

As the People concede, defendant is entitled to be resentenced because there is no record of any predicate felony statement or any proceeding to adjudicate defendant a second felony offender.
