Opinion
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles H. Solomon, J.), rendered April 6, 2010, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of grand larceny in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of two to four years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's credibility determinations. Although the victim could provide only limited information, the jury properly credited an officer's testimony that he had a full opportunity to observe this pickpocketing incident.We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
