PEOPLE v. SUTTON, HARRIS
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Feb 25, 1985
Judgments affirmed.
Although certain inconsistencies appear in the testimony of the prosecution witnesses, and the complaining witness himself had a criminal record, "resolution of credibility * * * [was] properly for the trier of fact" ( People v La Borde, 76 A.D.2d 869, 870; People v Rosenfeld, 93 A.D.2d 872). We are "traditionally resistant to second-guessing [a] determination on this issue" ( People v Di Girolamo, 108 A.D.2d 755), and the facts adduced in the case at bar "do not compel the conclusion that a reasonable doubt existed as a matter of law" ( People v La Borde, supra, p 870). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
