Opinion
September 17, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Michael Corriero, J.).
Defendant's challenge to the court's interested witness charge is unpreserved and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that the court's charge, taken in its entirety, was balanced and did not improperly single out a prosecution witness as "disinterested" ( see, People v. Agosto, 73 N.Y.2d 963, 967).
Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Ellerin, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
