PEOPLE v. EDWARDS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The jury determination that the defendant failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was acting "under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation or excuse" when he stabbed and killed his wife was not against the weight of the evidence (Penal Law § 125.25 [a]; see Penal Law § 125.20; People v. Roche, 98 NY2d 70, 75-76; People v. Casassa, 49 NY2d 668, 675, cert denied 449 US 842; People v. George, 7 AD3d 810 [2004]).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in the supplemental pro se brief, are without merit.
