People v. Patterson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 27, 1995
213 A.D.2d 682 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 27, 1995

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Thorp, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (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. Moreover, resolution of 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 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.

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Lawrence, J.P., Pizzuto, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
