237 A.D.2d 546; 656 N.Y.S.2d 890; 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2818
People v. Taylor

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Martin, J.), rendered April 27, 1995, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

*547Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

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). The jury’s 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). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15 [5]). Rosenblatt, J. P., O’Brien, Copertino and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
