2004 N.Y. Slip Op. 51435 (N.Y. App. Term 2004)

Opinion

2003-393 K CR.

Decided November 17, 2004.

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Criminal Court, Kings County (M. Lopez-Torres, J.), rendered on February 7, 2003, convicting him, after a non-jury trial, of attempted criminal contempt in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 215.50) and harassment in the second degree (Penal Law § 240.26), and imposing sentence.

Judgment of conviction unanimously affirmed.

PRESENT: PESCE, P.J., GOLIA and RIOS, JJ.


Resolutions of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the finder of fact which saw and heard the witnesses ( see People v. Gaimari 176 NY 84, 94; People v. Kleiniesel, 289 AD2d 509). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should only be disturbed if it is clearly unsupported by the record ( see People v. Garafolo, 44 AD2d 86, 88; Kleiniesel, 289 AD2d 509). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see CPL 470.15).
