People v. Peterson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 1, 1985
112 A.D.2d 172 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

July 1, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Giaccio, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Despite certain inconsistencies in the complainant's testimony and the fact that complainant had a criminal record, the resolution of his credibility was a matter for the trier of fact and his testimony does not "compel the conclusion that a reasonable doubt existed as a matter of law" ( People v. La Borde, 76 A.D.2d 869, 870).

Defendant's other contentions are without merit. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Weinstein and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
