Opinion
May 16, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Starkey, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review her contention that the trial court erred in failing to charge the defense of justification to the jury, inasmuch as she never requested such an instruction (see, CPL 470.05; People v Harrell, 59 N.Y.2d 620; People v. Orr, 191 A.D.2d 1000; People v Murray, 137 A.D.2d 768). In any event, the contention is without merit. Viewing the record in the light most favorable to the defendant, we find that there was no reasonable view of the evidence to support a justification defense (see, People v Reynoso, 73 N.Y.2d 816; People v. Rhoden, 191 A.D.2d 722).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they are either without merit or constitute harmless error. Sullivan, J.P., O'Brien, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
