People v. Glaspie

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 27, 1992
179 A.D.2d 822 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

January 27, 1992

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that his guilt was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt in view of inconsistencies in the testimony of the prosecution's main witness. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see, People v. Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J.P., Harwood, Lawrence and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
