People v. Acevedo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 9, 1998
248 A.D.2d 546 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

March 9, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Demarest, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which heard and saw the witnesses ( see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record ( see, People v. Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit ( see, People v. Brown, 80 N.Y.2d 361; People v. Ellis, 81 N.Y.2d 854).

Thompson, J. P., Sullivan, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
