People v. Pizarro

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 2, 1989
154 A.D.2d 409 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

October 2, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Tisch, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Even when read in the light most favorable to the defendant, there is no reasonable view of the evidence that would support a finding that the defendant's attack upon the complainant was justified. Therefore, the court did not err in declining to charge the jury on the law of justification (see, People v Padgett, 60 N.Y.2d 142, 144-145).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Eiber, J.P., Harwood, Balletta and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
