Opinion
October 20, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Antonio I. Brandveen, J.).
Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the People and giving them the benefit of every reasonable inference (People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), we find that the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict finding defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The issues raised by defendant concerning the credibility of the police witnesses, including their observations of the stolen vehicle and whether they saw him driving it, and the details of the chase that preceded defendant's apprehension, were properly placed before the jury, and we find no reason on the record before us to disturb its determination.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Wallach, Kupferman and Ross, JJ.
