PEOPLE v. JONES


297 A.D.2d 256 (2002)

746 N.Y.S.2d 596

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MICHAEL JONES, Appellant.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, First Department.

Decided August 29, 2002.


Defendant's contention that the jury's verdict should be overturned as against the weight of the evidence because the testimony of the state's chief witness, the undercover detective, was "farfetched and inconsistent" is unsustainable. The evidence established that the observing officer had ample opportunity to view the transaction in question, and there is no basis for this Court to disturb the jury's credibility determinations regarding that officer's testimony.
