People v. Aliotta

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Oct 4, 1991
176 A.D.2d 1198 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

October 4, 1991

Appeal from the Erie County Court, McCarthy, J.

Present — Callahan, A.P.J., Denman, Pine, Balio and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject defendant's contention that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. In this bench trial, four prosecution witnesses unequivocally identified defendant as the seller of the cocaine at issue, and the court in its verdict concluded that defendant's alibi proof was not credible. We see no reason to disturb the court's evaluation of credibility (see generally, People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied 469 U.S. 932; People v Christian, 139 A.D.2d 896, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 1024).
