Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 26, 2004
6 A.D.3d 730 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

2000-04543.

Decided April 26, 2004.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (D'Emic, J.), rendered May 9, 2000, convicting her of manslaughter in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Barbara Lerner of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Jodi L. Mandel, and Tziyonah M. Langsam of counsel), for respondent.

Before: HOWARD MILLER, J.P., DANIEL F. LUCIANO, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the trial court's justification charge was improper because the objective portion of the charge failed to properly instruct the jurors. This claim is unpreserved for appellate review, as the defendant failed to object to the charge as given or to request a supplemental charge ( see People v. Santos, 280 A.D.2d 561, 562; People v. Gurganious, 214 A.D.2d 681; People v. Noor, 177 A.D.2d 517). In any event, the court's charge, viewed in its entirety, adequately conveyed the appropriate standard to the jury ( see People v. Wesley, 76 N.Y.2d 555; People v. Goetz, 68 N.Y.2d 96; People v. Martinez, 243 A.D.2d 732).

H. MILLER, J.P., LUCIANO, SCHMIDT and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
