PEOPLE v. COELLO

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Jun 17, 1985

Judgment affirmed.

Our review of the record establishes that the People proved beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant intended to injure a police officer. The police officer's unimpeached testimony established that defendant aimed the gun and fired at him, not at a police dog. The jury clearly chose to credit this testimony and we find no reason in the record to disturb the jury's determination.

Moreover, we hold that the Westchester County Court properly exercised jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to CPL 20.40 (4) (c).

We have reviewed defendant's remaining claims and find that they lack merit. Lazer, J.P., Gibbons, O'Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
