PEOPLE v. MIDDLETON

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in the light most favorable to the People ( see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to prove the defendant's identity as the perpetrator of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, any marshalling of the evidence by the trial court during its jury charge was brief and fair.
