ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the written statement by the defendant was properly admitted into evidence by the County Court. The fact that the statement was translated from Spanish into English by a detective affects only the weight to be given to the statement by the jury, and is not relevant to the County Court's determination that the statement was voluntarily given (see, People v. Washington, 51 N.Y.2d 214; People v. Bridges, 226 A.D.2d 471; People v. Stephen, 155 A.D.2d 490).
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), 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).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
