People v. Luciano
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Tejada, J.), rendered April 16, 1997, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 4V2 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Issues of credibility were properly presented to the trier of fact and we find no reason to disturb its determinations.
