Opinion
December 22, 1986
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Aylward, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the record discloses that there was ample evidence to support the jury's verdict. Although there were certain inconsistencies in the testimony of the prosecution's witnesses, the assessment of credibility and the weight to be accorded such testimony are for the trier of fact to resolve (see, People v. Storm, 114 A.D.2d 477; People v Di Girolamo, 108 A.D.2d 755, lv denied 64 N.Y.2d 1133; People v Leonard, 106 A.D.2d 470). Further, the defendant failed to request the justification charge to which he now claims he was entitled and, accordingly, the issue of law has not been preserved for appellate review (see, People v. Thomas, 50 N.Y.2d 467; People v Glinsman, 107 A.D.2d 710, lv denied 64 N.Y.2d 889). We have examined the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit.
