People v. Green
| Decision Date | 31 August 2006 |
| Docket Number | 8750. |
| Citation | 820 N.Y.S.2d 271,2006 NY Slip Op 06353,32 A.D.3d 364 |
| Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. TIMOTHY GREEN, Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning credibility (see People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]). The evidence, including testimony that in the midst of a verbal dispute with the victim over a debt owed by defendant, defendant proceeded to stab the victim multiple times, disproved defendant's justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
The court properly refused to include in its justification charge an instruction on the use of deadly physical force to prevent the commission of a robbery (Penal Law § 35.15 [2] [b]). There was no reasonable view of the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to defendant, that at the time of the assault the victim was using or threatening the immediate use of force to obtain money (see Penal Law § 160.00).
Defendant did not preserve his claim that the court's justification charge was also deficient because it did not include an instruction that an acquittal based on justification would remove from the jury's consideration any lesser charges based on the same conduct, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that the justification charge, viewed as a whole (see People v Coleman, 70 NY2d 817 [1987]), properly conveyed that principle.
