Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Starkey, J.), rendered March 15, 2004, convicting him of attempted assault in the first degree, attempted robbery in the first degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prose
While the defendant contends that the testimony of the prosecution witnesses was incredible, the resolution of issues of credibility is primarily a matter to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633, 644-645 [2006]). Where, as here, the challenged testimony was not incredible as a matter of law, the jury’s determination should be accorded great weight on appeal (see People v Romero, supra at 644-645; People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383, 410 [2004], cert denied 542 US 946 [2004]). Upon the exercise of our factual review power (see CPL 470.15 [5]), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, supra).
The defendant’s contention concerning the trial court’s charge on the issue of justification is unpreserved for appellate review, and we decline to review this issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see People v Peterkin, 23 AD3d 678, 679 [2005]; People v Holmes, 12 AD3d 532 [2004]; cf. People v Feuer, 11 AD3d 633 [2004]). Rivera, J.P., Krausman, Goldstein and Lunn, JJ., concur.
