Opinion
January 18, 1994
Appeal from the Family Court, Rockland County (Stanger, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The record does not support the appellant's contention that the testimony of the key prosecution witness was so fraught with inconsistencies as to be intrinsically unreliable. Moreover, as the trier of fact, the hearing court's determination is entitled to great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see, People v. Williams, 177 A.D.2d 526; Matter of Robert S., 159 A.D.2d 358; People v. Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88). Upon the exercise of our factual review power we are satisfied that the finding of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).
We have examined the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit (see, People v. Moulton, 43 N.Y.2d 944; People v. Andre W., 44 N.Y.2d 179; see also, Delaware v Fensterer, 474 U.S. 15). Ritter, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto and Joy, JJ., concur.
