September 22, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy Kahn, J.)
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. The issues raised by defendant concerning the testing methodology and conclusions of the police chemist were properly placed before the jury, and we find no reason to disturb its determination ( see, People v. Brown, 214 A.D.2d 438, 439, lv denied 86 N.Y.2d 791; People v. Corchado, 166 A.D.2d 279, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 954). The totality of the evidence provided the jury with ample basis upon which to reject defendant's version of the facts.
