People v. Mora

121 A.D.2d 404, 503 N.Y.S.2d 284, 1986 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 58354

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided June 2, 1986·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lagaña, J.), rendered January 14, 1982, convicting him of murder in the second degree (six counts), and arson in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s claim, his guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the testimony of the complaining witness. It is well established that credibility determinations are within the province of the jury, and generally should not be overturned by a reviewing court (see, People v Kennedy, 47 NY2d 196). We also reject the defendant’s claim that his sentence should be reduced. Mollen, P. J., Thompson, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
