People v. Acosta

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Sep 21, 1995
219 A.D.2d 518 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 21, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Arlene Silverman, J.).


The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People and bearing in mind that credibility is a matter to be determined by the jury ( People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), there was sufficient corroboration of the child's unsworn testimony.

Defendant's claims relating to the integrity of the Grand Jury presentation are unpreserved, and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review them, we would find them without merit ( People v Darby, 75 N.Y.2d 449, 455). We specifically note that there is nothing in the record before this Court to suggest that the translation provided by the Grand Jury interpreter was defective in any respect.

We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.

Concur — Wallach, J.P., Kupferman, Ross, Nardelli and Tom, JJ.
