Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, his factual allocution supported a conviction of murder in the first degree pursuant to Penal Law § 125.27 (1) (a) (vii).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
S. Miller, J. P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Luciano, JJ., concur.
