121 A.D.2d 404 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

June 2, 1986

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

Judgment affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's claim, his guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the testimony of the complaining witness. It is well established that credibility determinations are within the province of the jury, and generally should not be overturned by a reviewing court (see, People v. Kennedy, 47 N.Y.2d 196). We also reject the defendant's claim that his sentence should be reduced. Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
