People v. Deleon

106 A.D.2d 582, 483 N.Y.S.2d 88, 1984 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 21880

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: December 24, 1984
• Status: Published

Opinion

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Cohen, J.), rendered June 7, 1982, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

The evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to permit a rational trier of fact to find that the People disproved defendant’s justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt (.People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620; Penal Law, §§ 35.00, 35.15, subd 2, par [a]).

We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be either unpreserved or lacking in merit. Titone, J. P., Mangano, Brown and Rubin, JJ., concur.
