The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. We see no reason to disturb the jury's determinations concerning credibility. There was ample evidence from which the jury could reasonably infer that the glassine envelope of heroin recovered from the apprehended buyer's hand was the same object that he had just obtained from defendant.
Although "the preferred phrasing to convey the concept and degree of reasonable doubt is found in the Pattern Criminal Jury Instructions," (People v. Cubino, 88 N.Y.2d 998, 1000), the court's charge on reasonable doubt, viewed in totality, conveyed the appropriate legal principles and does not warrant reversal (see,People v. Fonseca, 262 A.D.2d 239, 690 N.Y.S.2d 456).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
