Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), the People proved beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant shared the intent of his companion to steal the complainant's property. Trial testimony indicated that defendant was side-by-side with his companion as the two quickly approached complainant and the companion snatched complainant's jewelry. The suspects ran off together, looking over their shoulders and conversing. Defendant was heard saying "it's cool" to his partner when it appeared that no one was after them, and "let's split" as their pursuers approached. Although defendant did not grab the necklaces, the evidence clearly established that he intentionally aided his companion with the intent to deprive the complainant of her property (see, People v Corbett, 162 A.D.2d 415, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 837).
