Description
Order affirmed in the following memorandum: The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. The record established that defendant was guilty of an intentional shooting or no other. The verdict acquitting defendant of the manslaughter counts disposes, as the Appellate Division held, of those counts. Insofar as the submission of the lesser crime of criminally negligent homicide (Penal Law, § 125.10), on no view of the evidence in this record is there warrant for a guilty verdict. This is not to say, as respondent-defendant concedes, that in a proper case criminally negligent homicide might not be a lesser included offense under a manslaughter indictment. It suffices for this case that the two bursts of shots, each shot hitting its victim, could not be found to be the result of negligence merely.
