Opinion
May 10, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (LaCava, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The evidence produced by the People establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant attacked the victim with a golf club. As the victim sought to ward off this attack, she was stabbed in the back by the defendant's knife-wielding codefendant, Lorraine Brown (see, People v Brown, 193 A.D.2d 691 [decided herewith]). The defendant then produced a knife herself and stabbed the victim in the side, producing the most serious of the victim's several injuries. A third codefendant, Lucy Allums, then appeared "out of no where" and also stabbed the victim in the back (see, People v Allums, 193 A.D.2d 687 [decided herewith]). The codefendant Lucy Allums then removed the knife from the victim's back and attempted to stab the victim yet again. The victim was rescued by a bystander, who ushered her into a taxi, which took her to a hospital.
Contrary to the defendant's principal argument, the verdict pronounced by the jury was neither inconsistent nor repugnant (see, CPL 310.40, 310.80 Crim. Proc.; Matter of Oliver v Justices of N Y Sup. Ct., 44 A.D.2d 823). An alleged inconsistency in the verdict sheet, which had no counterpart in the jury's actual verdict as recorded by the court, does not, in our view, furnish a basis for reversal.
We have examined the defendant's remaining contention, and find it to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
