People v. Johnson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 16, 1998
255 A.D.2d 456 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

November 16, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Moskowitz, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the police officer's testimony at the suppression hearing was not incredible as a matter of law. The findings and credibility determinations of the hearing court, which are entitled to great deference on appeal, are supported by the record and should not be disturbed ( see, People v. Gordon, 242 A.D.2d 640; People v. Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88).

O'Brien, J. P., Sullivan, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
