Opinion
March 13, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jay Gold, J.).
The jury's determination with respect to issues of credibility is to be given due deference. (People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495.) There is no reason to disturb its resolution of those issues in the present case. The trial court did not improperly curtail defense counsel's cross-examination of the complainant. The court properly limited the defense counsel's inquiry on the subject of the complainant's alleged contact with a prostitute after the complainant gave negative responses to several of defense counsel's questions on the subject and defense counsel sought to persist and ask essentially the same questions.
