111 A.D.2d 415 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

May 28, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant was properly convicted of felony murder, intentional murder, burglary and criminal possession of a weapon. He did not prove the elements of the affirmative defense available to felony murder (Penal Law § 125.25; People v. Santanella, 82 A.D.2d 869). The prosecutor's summation did not deprive defendant of a fair trial ( see, People v. Roopchand, 107 A.D.2d 35). The charge, as a whole, properly conveyed the law to the jury. Weinstein, J.P., Rubin, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
