People v. Jordan

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
May 30, 1997
239 A.D.2d 947 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 30, 1997

Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Doerr, Balio and Boehm, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The testimony of two prosecution witnesses, although inconsistent in some respects, was not incredible as a matter of law (see, People v. Everett, 234 A.D.2d 915). The credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be accorded their testimony were matters for jury resolution (see, People v. Gruttola, 43 N.Y.2d 116, 122), and there is no basis in this record to disturb the jury's verdict (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). We further conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. (Appeal from Judgment of Niagara County Court, Hannigan, J. — Assault, 1st Degree.)
