People v. Grays

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 21, 1994
209 A.D.2d 637 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

November 21, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Eng, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence 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 guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Although there were inconsistencies between the complainant's testimony at the trial and the complainant's statements to the police, they were not so great as to render his testimony incredible as a matter of law (see, People v. Jordan, 181 A.D.2d 745; People v. Haynes, 175 A.D.2d 929; People v. Reina, 131 A.D.2d 517). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15; People v. Sutton, 108 A.D.2d 942). Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
