- ,
The County Court properly denied that branch of the defendant‘s omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence and his statements to law enforcement officials (see People v Ayers, 43 AD3d 1071 [2007]). Further, the jury verdict was not repugnant (see People v Saunders, 290 AD2d 461 [2002]; People v Mabry, 288 AD2d 326 [2001]).
The trial court‘s Sandoval ruling (see People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371, 375 [1974]) struck an appropriate balance between the probative value of the defendant‘s prior crimes on the issue of his credibility and the possible prejudice to him (see People v Jones, 41 AD3d at 508 [2007]; People v Davis, 299 AD2d 420 [2002]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Skelos, J.P., Dillon, Leventhal and Chambers, JJ., concur.
