People v. Gil-Cabrera

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 17, 1995
213 A.D.2d 1065 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 17, 1995

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Connell, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Fallon, Callahan and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's challenge to the court's refusal to charge criminally negligent homicide (Penal Law § 125.10) as a lesser included offense of murder in the second degree (Penal Law § 125.25) is foreclosed by the jury's verdict finding defendant guilty of murder in the second degree as charged in the indictment and the jury's implicit rejection of the charged lesser included offense of manslaughter in the first degree (see, People v. Scott, 203 A.D.2d 911, lv denied 83 N.Y.2d 971). In any event, defendant was not entitled to the charge because under no reasonable view of the evidence could the jury have found that defendant committed the lesser offense but not the greater (see, People v. Thomches, 172 A.D.2d 786, 787).
