Opinion
June 5, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The trial court did not err in failing to charge the jury on manslaughter in the second degree as a lesser included count of murder in the second degree, since, under no reasonable view of the evidence could it be said that the defendant recklessly, and not intentionally, caused the death of the victim (People v Green, 56 N.Y.2d 427, 430; People v. Glover, 57 N.Y.2d 61; People v. Vasquez, 104 A.D.2d 429, 430).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Rubin, JJ., concur.
