People v. Peguero
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Nicholas Iacovetta, J.), rendered June 26, 1995, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first and second degrees and burglary in the first degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 9 to 18 years, 3 to 9 years, and 9 to 18 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. The People presented overwhelming evidence, including the presence of defendant’s fingerprints in the victims’ apartment under circumstances permitting no reasonable conclusion other than guilt. We see no reason to disturb the jury’s determinations concerning credibility and reliability of identification testimony.
