ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the hearing court's denial of that branch of his omnibus motion which was to suppress the statements he made to the police on the ground that the police improperly isolated him from his father during custodial questioning is unpreserved for appellate review since the contention he raises on appeal was not raised before the hearing court ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Jackson, 241 A.D.2d 526, cert denied 523 U.S. 1061 [Apr. 6, 1998]; People v. Howard, 162 A.D.2d 408). In any event, the motion was properly denied since the defendant was a competent adult when he made the statements and waived his right to counsel on three separate occasions ( see, People v. Crimmins, 64 N.Y.2d 1072, 1073: cf. People v. Bevilacqua, 45 N.Y.2d 508, 512-513: People v. Townsend, 33 N.Y.2d 37).
The defendant also claims that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence because the jury failed to duly credit the witnesses who allegedly saw the victim alive after the date that he killed the victim. We disagree. Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the trier of fact ( see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
