205 A.D.2d 549

People v. Boboris

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1994-06-06

Decided 1994-06-06

¶1Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Mallon, J.), rendered March 11, 1992, convicting him of attempted sodomy in the first degree and sexual abuse in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

¶2Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

¶3Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15 [5]). Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94). 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 AD2d 86, 88).

¶4We have examined the defendánt’s remaining contentions *550and find them to be without merit. Balletta, J. P., Copertino, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
