Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “Defendant concedes that he failed to preserve for our review his contention that the evidence is legally insufficient to support the conviction [sic] (see People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10, 19 , 629 N.Y.S.2d 173 , 652 N.E.2d 919 ([N.Y.1995]) (“[E]ven where a motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence was made, the preservation requirement compels that the argument be ‘specifically directed’ at the alleged error [in the People’s proof....”)]). In any event, that contention lacks merit, and defendant’s further contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence is similarly lacking in merit (see generally People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495 , 515 N.Y.S.2d 761 , 508 N.E.2d 672 [ (1987) ]).”
