Opinion
April 14, 1997
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ferdinand, J.), rendered May 11, 1994, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The jury was free to reject the defendant's affirmative defense of extreme emotional disturbance ( see, People v. Maher, 89 N.Y.2d 456; People v. Ayala, 221 A.D.2d 457; People v. David, 143 A.D.2d 1031; see also, People v. Casassa, 49 N.Y.2d 668, cert denied 449 U.S. 842).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Miller, J.P., Sullivan, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
