Opinion
June 8, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (George L. Jurow, J.).
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency and giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference (People v. Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the finding that appellant attempted to rob the victim at knifepoint and threatened his life after appellant and four others jumped into the victim's car while it was stopped at a traffic light. Any discrepancies between the victim's testimony on the one hand, and the statement the victim made to the arresting officer, the officer's testimony, and the officer's report, merely presented an issue of credibility for the court's determination (Matter of Mikal M., 191 A.D.2d 381).
