    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jose Santiago, Appellant.
    [954 NYS2d 453]
   The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s rejection of defendant’s explanation of his reason for forcefully throwing his dog to the floor, causing injury. Concur — Gonzalez, P.J., Sweeny, Richter, Román and Clark, JJ.
