New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Ubaldo Romero, Appellant

November 21, 20062006 NY Slip Op 8640

Summary

The court held that the intermediate appellate court did not apply an improper legal standard merely because it cited an older decision emphasizing deference to jury credibility determinations. The appellate court's explanation adequately indicated that it considered the conflicting evidence and found no basis to disturb the verdict, which was sufficient under the governing weight-of-the-evidence review. The judgment was therefore affirmed.
