People v. Johnson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 2, 1995
220 A.D.2d 454 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

October 2, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see, People v. Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88). 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). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Thompson and Ritter, JJ., concur.
