People v. Harrison

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 26, 1995
216 A.D.2d 582 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 26, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, resolution of issues of credibility, including issues involving eyewitness identification testimony, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v. Caban, 120 A.D.2d 603). 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).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
