People v. Mosher
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 26, 1991
172 A.D.2d 1046; 571 N.Y.S.2d 406; 1991 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6308
People v. Mosher

Opinion of the Court

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: There is no reasonable view of the evidence to support the conclusion that defendant acted recklessly rather than intentionally. Thus, the trial court properly denied his request to charge manslaughter in the second degree as a lesser included offense of murder in the second degree (cf., People v Tai, 39 NY2d 894, 895; People v Suarez, 148 AD2d 367; People v Davis, 142 AD2d 791).

We have examined defendant’s remaining arguments on appeal and find them to be lacking in merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Burke, J.—Manslaughter, 1st Degree.) Present—Callahan, J. P., Doerr, Denman, Pine and Lawton, JJ.
