Opinion
June 2, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Kubiniec, J.
Present — Denman, J.P., Green, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence was of sufficient quantity and quality to establish defendant's guilt of first degree manslaughter and to disprove the defense of justification beyond a reasonable doubt, particularly in view of the uncontroverted evidence that defendant stabbed the victim 25 times (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490; People v. McManus, 67 N.Y.2d 541, 546-547; People v King, 128 A.D.2d 806). We have reviewed defendant's remaining claims and find them lacking in merit.
