Opinion
September 23, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Dominic Massaro, J.).
The hearing court's determination of credibility is entitled to great weight and should not be disturbed on appeal absent compelling reasons. No evidence was presented to contradict the officer's account of the events leading up to defendant's arrest, and his testimony was not inherently improbable or unreliable (see, People v Carter, 37 N.Y.2d 234, 239).
