291 A.D.2d 237, 736 N.Y.S.2d 876, 2002 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1541

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided February 7, 2002·Published

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Felice Shea, J.), rendered August 27, 1999, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 4V2 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.

Read as a whole, the court’s charge on accessorial liability, which included the definition set forth in Penal Law § 20.00, conveyed the appropriate standard. In context, the court’s emphasis on the phrase “intentional participation” could not have distracted the jury from the statutory definition (see, People v Johnson, 181 AD2d 509, 510, lv denied 80 NY2d 833). Concur — Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Sullivan, Wallach and Marlow, JJ.
