People v. Jackson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 4, 1993
198 A.D.2d 5 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

November 4, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Budd G. Goodman, J.).


In this buy and bust case, the defendant contends that the People did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knowingly sold cocaine to an undercover police officer. Defendant testified that he filled the vials with soap, prior to selling them, and his expert criticized the police techniques for testing for cocaine.

However, defendant's testimony and that of his expert only raised issues of credibility, and as the jury's determination of these issues was not unreasonable, it will be upheld (People v Vigo, 170 A.D.2d 192, 193, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 968).

We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Kupferman, Asch and Kassal, JJ.
