PEOPLE v. CAMACHO

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence ( People v. Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Defendant's actions, which included procuring the victim's presence at a place where he could be attacked, assisting the principal actor in wrestling the victim to the ground, acting as a lookout as the principal actor administered numerous lacerations to the victim's head and face with a sharp metal object, and repeatedly kicking the victim in the head and upper torso, established his accessorial liability ( see People v. Allah, 71 NY2d 830; People v. Peralta, 1 AD3d 115, lv denied 1 NY3d 600; compare People v. Akptotanor, 158 AD2d 694, affd 76 NY2d 1000). The inference that defendant took part in a plan to trap and seriously injure the victim was compelling.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
