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.
