Opinion
April 21, 1997
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gerges, J.), rendered September 21, 1995, convicting her of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Having failed to request a charge on the defense of intoxication (see, Penal Law § 15.25) with respect to the second degree murder charge, or to take exception to the charge as issued, the defendant's contention that she was denied a fair trial by the court's failure to deliver such a charge is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Adams, 166 A.D.2d 711). In any event, on this record, there was insufficient evidence of intoxication for a reasonable person to entertain a doubt as to the element of intent on that basis (see, People v. Gaines, 83 N.Y.2d 925; People v. Rodriguez, 76 N.Y.2d 918; People v. Perry, 61 N.Y.2d 849).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Motley, 116 A.D.2d 596; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Pizzuto, J.P., Santucci, Joy and Florio, JJ., concur.
