307 A.D.2d 935 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003)

Opinion

2001-07501, 2001-07502

Submitted June 17, 2003.

August 4, 2003.

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Nassau County (LaPera, J.), both rendered July 13, 2001, convicting her of attempted murder in the second degree under Indictment No. 1436/00, and grand larceny in the third degree, petit larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree under Indictment No. 951/00, upon jury verdicts, and imposing sentences.

Martin Geoffrey Goldberg, Franklin Square, N.Y., for appellant.

Denis Dillon, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Peter A. Weinstein and Jodi A. Danzig of counsel), for respondent.

Before: A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., SANDRA L. TOWNES, WILLIAM F. MASTRO, REINALDO E. RIVERA, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant's claim that the jury verdict convicting her of attempted murder in the second degree and acquitting her of attempted arson in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree was repugnant or inconsistent is not preserved for appellate review, as no objection was raised before the jury was discharged (see People v. Balbuena, 264 A.D.2d 424; People v. Curry, 198 A.D.2d 371; People v. McFadden, 194 A.D.2d 566). In any event, the verdicts were not repugnant or inconsistent.

The defendant was afforded the effective assistance of counsel (see People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708; People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

PRUDENTI, P.J., TOWNES, MASTRO and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
