People v. Duncan

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 25, 1994
206 A.D.2d 541 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

July 25, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kreindler, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the verdict sheet that was submitted to the jury was entirely proper. It contained no references to the facts, to portions of the oral charge, or to any elements of the crimes charged (see, People v. Owens, 69 N.Y.2d 585, 589; People v. McCray, 182 A.D.2d 838, 839). There was no risk that the deliberative process or the "ultimate guilt determination" by the jury was in any way affected by the verdict sheet (see, People v. Sotomayer, 79 N.Y.2d 1029, 1030; see, People v. Daughtry, 202 A.D.2d 686; People v. Vargas, 199 A.D.2d 291).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Joy and Hart, JJ., concur.
