People v. Garcia

239 A.D.2d 157, 657 N.Y.S.2d 893, 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4889

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Phylis Skloot Bamberger, J.), rendered July 8,1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 41/2 to 9 years and l1/2 to 3 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Upon our independent review of the facts, we find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Credibility issues raised by defendant were properly placed before the jury and we find no reason to disturb its findings (see, People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Wallach and Mazzarelli, JJ.
