Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 12, 1989
152 A.D.2d 966 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

July 12, 1989

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Connell, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Ford, 66 N.Y.2d 428, 437), the evidence amply supports the verdict. Credibility of the witnesses was for the jury to resolve (see, People v De Tore, 34 N.Y.2d 199, 206-207, cert denied sub nom. Wedra v New York, 419 U.S. 1025; People v Christian, 139 A.D.2d 896, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 1024), and based upon our independent review of the record the verdict was not contrary to the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). Defendant waived his right to challenge the evidence seized from his apartment by failing to make a suppression motion (see, CPL 710.70; People v Bertolo, 65 N.Y.2d 111, 121; People v Martinez, 105 A.D.2d 873, 874). In view of the court's curative instructions, the prosecutor's improper comments on summation did not deprive defendant of a fair trial. On this record defendant's sentence is not excessive.
