People v. Rios
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Broomer, J.), rendered February 6, 1990, convicting him of robbery in the second degree and attempted criminal trespass in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The 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 (People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94). The jury’s determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (People v Garafolo, 44 AD2d 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 [5]).
The defendant’s sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
We find no merit to the defendant’s remaining contention. Thompson, J. P., Harwood, Rosenblatt and Fiber, JJ., concur.
