Opinion
October 12, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cohen, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence 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 establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence adduced at trial disclosed that the defendant had engaged in a street fight with the victim and others. When the fight ended the defendant went to his car, returned with a gun, and fired one shot at the man with whom he had been fighting. The defendant continued to pull the trigger but the gun failed to discharge. As the victim's friend grabbed the defendant and tried to appease him, the defendant raised his gun and fatally wounded the victim. This evidence was legally sufficient to establish that the defendant acted with depraved indifference to human life (see, People v. Register, 60 N.Y.2d 270, cert denied 466 U.S. 953; People v. Santana, 163 A.D.2d 495, affd 78 N.Y.2d 1027; People v. Languena, 129 A.D.2d 587). 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).
By failing to submit a written motion to dismiss the indictment within 45 days after arraignment, the defendant waived his right to challenge the integrity of the Grand Jury proceeding within the meaning of CPL 210.35 (see, CPL 210.20; 210.45 [1]; 255.20 [1]; People v. Lawrence, 64 N.Y.2d 200, 203; People v Key, 45 N.Y.2d 111, 116; People v. De Rosa, 42 N.Y.2d 872, 873). Thompson, J.P., Ritter, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
