Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Charles Peacock, Appellant.
[707 NYS2d 919]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him following a bench trial of assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05 [1]). We reject defendant's contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence. Even assuming, arguendo, that a different result would not have been unreasonable, we conclude that County Court did not fail to give the evidence the weight it should be accorded (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Although defendant had no prior criminal history, the sentence of incarceration of 2 to 4 years is not unduly harsh or severe in view of the brutality of the crime and the permanent injuries suffered by the victim.
