Opinion

October 12, 2000.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Cohen, J.), rendered April 21, 1998, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of manslaughter in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 7 1/2 to 15 years, unanimously affirmed.

Erica M. Fitzgerald, for respondent.

Jeffrey Dellheim, for defendant-appellant.

Before: Rosenberger, J.P., Williams, Lerner, Saxe, Buckley, JJ.


The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis upon which to disturb the jury's determinations concerning credibility. The credible evidence disproved defendant's justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
