People v. Adams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 14, 1995
212 A.D.2d 621 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

February 14, 1995

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Tisch, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The jury properly inferred that the defendant intended to commit a crime upon entering a garage (see, People v. Barnes, 50 N.Y.2d 375; People v. McCrea, 194 A.D.2d 742; People v. Daye, 150 A.D.2d 481). 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 saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84). 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). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15). Bracken, J.P., Balletta, Copertino and Hart, JJ., concur.
