People v. Davis

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

218 A.D.2d 748 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

August 21, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Dwyer, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We reject the defendant's contention that he was prejudiced as a result of the court's jury instruction on the issue of justification. A review of the charge delivered demonstrates that it adequately illustrated the subjective as well as objective elements of the justification defense (see, People v. Wesley, 76 N.Y.2d 555; People v. Goetz, 68 N.Y.2d 96; People v. Noor, 177 A.D.2d 517; People v. Hagi, 169 A.D.2d 203).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Balletta, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto and Krausman, JJ., concur.
