The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning credibility. The evidence, including testimony that defendant punched the victim in the jaw and kicked him multiple times in the chest and face as he was lying helpless on the ground after the codefendant had hit him on the head with a beer bottle, established defendant's intent to cause serious physical injury and his accessorial liability for the death of the victim (see People v. Allah, 71 N.Y.2d 830).
The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant youthful offender treatment, and we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
