THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. RONALD J. BOWER, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses ( see, People v Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84). Its determination is entitled to great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record ( see, People v Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15). Moreover, the defendant's sentence was not illegal ( see, People v Brathwaite, 63 N.Y.2d 839).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Pizzuto, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
