PEOPLE v. MOORE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department.
Jun 5, 1992

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We conclude that the jury's guilty verdict on the attempted murder count was not contrary to the weight of evidence (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). Although a contrary determination would not have been unreasonable, a finding of intent to kill was inferable from the circumstances, including the multiple stab wounds suffered by the victim, the fact that defendant continued to stab the victim until he collapsed, and verbal threats defendant made during the dispute (see, People v. Horton, 18 N.Y.2d 355, 359, cert denied 387 U.S. 934; People v. McDavis, 97 A.D.2d 302).
