Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jose Rosa, Appellant.
[598 NYS2d 753]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject defendant's argument that the People failed to disprove the agency defense. The facts tending to establish the defense were provided by the testimony of the codefendant and the court was not bound to credit that testimony. We also conclude that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence and that the sentence was not harsh and excessive.
