The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 ). Credibility and identification issues were properly placed before the jury and we find no reason to disturb its findings. Concur — Nardelli, J. P., Tom, Mazzarelli, Andrias and Buckley, JJ.
