People v. Jackson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 30, 1999
266 A.D.2d 475 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Argued October 8, 1999

November 30, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.), rendered September 18, 1997, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Joseph P. Tucker, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Roseann B. MacKechnie and Howard A. Getzler of counsel), for respondent.

MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., ANITA R. FLORIO, HOWARD MILLER, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, no reasonable view of the evidence supports a justification charge and, thus, the trial court properly declined to give it ( see, Penal Law § 35.15).

Under the circumstances of this case, the defendant was not denied the effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

ALTMAN, J.P., FLORIO, H. MILLER, and SCHMIDT, JJ., concur.
