The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Khalil Danielson, Also Known as Khali Danielson, Appellant; The…

Summary

The court held that weight-of-the-evidence review must examine whether the evidence supports each element of the charged crime, even when the defendant failed to preserve a legal-sufficiency claim. Applying that rule, it affirmed Danielson's conviction because the intermediate appellate court had effectively performed the required review, but reversed and remitted Pasley's case because that court considered only credibility issues. The court also rejected both defendants' ineffective-assistance claims.
