People v. Rodriquez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 29, 1992
186 A.D.2d 520 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

October 29, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence J. Tonetti, J.).


Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the People (People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict. The complainant had several good opportunities to view defendant and his cohorts, defendant and his cohorts were arrested within minutes of the robbery, knives and guns were found on and around defendant and his cohorts, and finally, the complainant's possessions were found on defendant and his cohorts. While defendant challenges the complainant's credibility, any possible discrepancies in his testimony were for the jury to resolve (see, People v Avery, 161 A.D.2d 497).

We have considered defendant's other claims and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Wallach and Ross, JJ.
