Matter of John H

251 A.D.2d 579 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 22, 1998

Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Freeman, J.).


Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The confusion exhibited by the young complaining witness during various phases of cross-examination does not undermine the essential reliability of his testimony. This testimony, coupled with that of an eyewitness to one of the several incidents, supports the Family Court's adjudication of the appellant as a juvenile delinquent. This Court sees no reason to credit the appellant or the witnesses allied with him, whose testimony was found by the Family Court to be "incredible" and "largely irrelevant".

Bracken, J.P., Santucci, Altman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
