State v. Ford

44 A.D.3d 307 (N.Y. App. Div. 2007)

Opinion

No. 1590.

October 2, 2007.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ruth Pickholz, J.), rendered February 22, 2006, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to 3½ years, unanimously affirmed.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Karen Marcus of counsel), for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Grace Vee of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Lippman, P.J., Tom, Nardelli, Gonzalez and Kavanagh, JJ.


The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning credibility ( see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). The police account of the incident was not implausible, and any inconsistencies in the officers' testimony was insignificant.
