People v. Evans

Decision Date07 October 2002
Citation298 A.D.2d 401,751 N.Y.S.2d 377
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division
PartiesTHE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>LEONARD EVANS, Appellant.

S. Miller, J.P., Crane, Cozier and Rivera, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The factual findings and credibility determinations of a hearing court are accorded great deference on appeal, and will not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see People v Fryar, 276 AD2d 641). Here, nothing in the record supports the defendant's contention that the testimony of the arresting police officer at the hearing was incredible or patently tailored to nullify constitutional objections (see People v Black, 214 AD2d 619). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence and statements made to law enforcement officials.

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Delgado, 80 NY2d 780; People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
