People v. Iaquinta

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 26, 1992
183 A.D.2d 917 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

May 26, 1992

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Hurley, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence adduced at trial 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 support the conviction (see, People v. Cobbs, 161 A.D.2d 723; People v Policano, 139 A.D.2d 773, 774). Furthermore, resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to 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 was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15; People v. Policano, supra). Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Ritter and Copertino, JJ., concur.
