People v. Beckford

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 10, 1986
117 A.D.2d 674 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

February 10, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kooper, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Although certain inconsistencies appear in the testimony of the prosecution witnesses, the resolution of issues of credibility and the weight of the evidence presented is properly for the trier of fact (see, People v. Rosenfeld, 93 A.D.2d 872). After examining the record, we have concluded that the People satisfied their burden of proving defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. While some of the prosecutor's remarks during his summation may have been improper, they do not warrant reversal under the circumstances and defendant was not deprived of a fair trial (see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396, 401).

We have considered the remainder of defendant's contentions and have found them to be either unpreserved or without merit. Lazer, J.P., Mangano, Brown and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
