Opinion
July 8, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The issue of the legal sufficiency of the evidence was not preserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05). In any event, 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 establish the defendant's identity as one of the perpetrators. Moreover, although the defendant contends that the testimony of the witness who identified him at trial was inconsistent and unworthy of belief, 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). The jury's 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).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Bracken, J.P., Thompson, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
