The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Great God White, Appellant.
[715 NYS2d 359]

—Judgment

p. 943
unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject defendant’s contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 , 495). The fact that the eyewitnesses to the robbery and assault have criminal records does not render their testimony incredible as a matter of law (see, People v Boyd, 254 AD2d 740 , 741, lv denied 92 NY2d 1047 ), and the jury was in the best position to evaluate the credibility of those eyewitnesses (see, People v Malizia, 62 NY2d 755 , 757, cert denied 469 US 932 ; People v Conner, 195 AD2d 1078 , lv denied 82 NY2d 715 ). (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Siragusa, J. — Robbery, 1st Degree.) Present — Green, J. P., Pine, Hayes, Scudder and Law-ton, JJ.
