Opinion
October 16, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County, Pesce, J., Hellenbrand, J.
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant's contentions regarding the court's charge have not been preserved for appellate review (see, People v Allen, 69 N.Y.2d 915). In any event, while certain phrases in that portion of the charge dealing with reasonable doubt were ill-chosen, the charge, read as a whole, adequately explained the quantum of proof necessary in a criminal trial (People v Burns, 133 A.D.2d 642).
The defendant's remaining contentions are similarly unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit. Brown, J.P., Eiber, Kooper and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
