Opinion
November 13, 2000.
Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Siragusa, J. — Robbery, 1st Degree.
PRESENT: GREEN, J. P., PINE, HAYES, SCUDDER AND LAWTON, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum:
We reject defendant's contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). The fact that the eyewitnesses to the robbery and assault have criminal records does not render their testimony incredible as a matter of law ( see, People v. Boyd, 254 A.D.2d 740, 741, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 1047), and the jury was in the best position to evaluate the credibility of those eyewitnesses ( see, People v. Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied 469 U.S. 932; People v. Conner, 195 A.D.2d 1078, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 715).
