OPINION OF THE COURT

GRAFFEO, J.

We are asked in these appeals whether the Appellate Division applied the correct legal standard when it reviewed the sufficiency and weight of the evidence supporting defendants' convictions for enterprise corruption (Penal Law art 460). We hold that the Appellate Division did not properly consider the elements of the crime under People v Western Express Intl., Inc.
