152 A.D.2d 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

July 17, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Linakis, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, and a new trial is ordered.

The trial court committed reversible error by submitting to the jury, over defense counsel's objection, a verdict sheet which listed not only the crimes charged and the possible verdict thereon (see, CPL 310.20), but also one of the elements of each of those charges (see, People v Nimmons, 72 N.Y.2d 830; People v Jackson, 148 A.D.2d 750; People v Testaverde, 143 A.D.2d 208).

In light of the foregoing disposition, the defendant's remaining contentions need not be addressed. Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
