229 A.D.2d 596 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

July 29, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Friedmann, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

In a prosecution, inter alia, for intentional murder and depraved-mind murder in which first-degree manslaughter was submitted as a lesser-included offense of intentional murder and second-degree manslaughter was submitted as a lesser-included offense of depraved-mind murder, the jury was properly instructed by the trial court on how to consider the greater and lesser-included offenses (see, People v. Johnson, 87 N.Y.2d 357).

The defendant's remaining contention does not require reversal. Thompson, J.P., Joy, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
