In the early morning of December 3, 1988, sometime after 2:00 A.M., an altercation took place between Jeffrey Medici, the complaining witness, and George Vasquez. The confrontation was later joined by Vasquez's companion, defendant Abraham Rivera. Medici and defendant were the only witnesses to the incident to testify at trial. While the facts recounted by each are in greater part identical, the significance which each attaches to the events is markedly different.
