Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to defendant, there was no reasonable view of the evidence that defendant committed the lesser included offense of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, but not the greater offense of fifth-degree possession. Defendant's various attacks upon the chemists' testimony failed to create such a reasonable view. Analysis of a random sampling established that defendant possessed 754 milligrams of cocaine. Even if the 10% margin for error described in the expert testimony were to be applied to the calculations, defendant still possessed far in excess of the 500 milligram threshold for fifth-degree possession ( see, People v. Thurman, 179 A.D.2d 382, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 954). We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
