People v. Connolly
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 4, 1999
259 A.D.2d 282; 684 N.Y.S.2d 781; 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2278
People v. Connolly

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Daniel Sullivan, J.), rendered December 16, 1996, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of manslaughter in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 5 to 15 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s motion to suppress statements was properly denied. We see no reason to disturb the court’s credibility determinations (see, People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761).

We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur — Williams, J. P., Lerner, Rubin and Saxe, JJ.
