THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. JEAN HENRIUS, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish that he acted recklessly in causing the death of the victim is unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10, 19-21; People v. Addison, 290 A.D.2d 453; see also People v. Laraby, 92 N.Y.2d 932, 933). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt of manslaughter in the second degree beyond a reasonable doubt ( see People v. Feliciano, 298 A.D.2d 598; People v. Patti, 229 A.D.2d 506).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the trial court acted within its discretion in permitting the prosecution to present rebuttal testimony ( see CPL 260.30; People v. Harris, 98 N.Y.2d 452, 489-490; People v. Harris, 57 N.Y.2d 335, 345, cert denied 460 U.S. 1047; People v. James, 285 A.D.2d 561).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Balls, 69 N.Y.2d 641, 642; People v. Jones, 294 A.D.2d 517), and in any event, do not warrant a reversal in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt ( see People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v. Singh, 299 A.D.2d 498).

SANTUCCI, J.P., S. MILLER, SCHMIDT and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
