Opinion
October 8, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Patricia Williams, J.).
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. We see no reason to disturb the jury's determinations regarding the reliability of the identification testimony ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). There was ample evidence of defendant's intentional participation in the sale. Defendant's inquiry as to the amount of drugs the undercover officer desired to purchase, taken in context, was clearly part of the transaction.
