10963. PEOPLE, res, v. DEXTER ROMAN, def-ap — STEVEN BANKS, THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY, NEW YORK (ELLEN DILLE OF counsel), for ap — ROBERT T. JOHNSON, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BRONX (RAFAEL CURBELO OF counsel), for res — Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Michael R. Sonberg, J.), rendered January 5, 2009, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to consecutive terms of 25 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict convicting defendant of two murders, committed on separate dates, was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). As to each crime, there is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations, including its evaluation of such matters as inconsistencies in testimony, motives to falsify, and witnesses’ delay in revealing information.
