People v. Castillo

257 A.D.2d 446, 682 N.Y.S.2d 586, 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 169

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Covington, J.), rendered December 5, 1996, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 25 years to life and 5 to 15 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). We see no reason to disturb the jury’s determinations regarding the credibility of witnesses and reliability of identification testimony. Concur—Rosenberger, J. P., Nardelli, Williams and Rubin, JJ.
