Ordered that the amended judgment is reversed, on the law, and a new trial is ordered. The facts have been considered and determined to have been established.
We find that the trial court committed reversible error by submitting to the jury, over defense counsel's objection, a verdict sheet containing not only the crimes charged and the possible verdicts thereon (see, CPL 310.20) but also the elements of those charges (see, People v. Nimmons, 72 N.Y.2d 830; People v. Owens, 69 N.Y.2d 585). Furthermore, we note that despite the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, the error cannot be considered harmless (see, People v. Brooks, 70 N.Y.2d 896; People v. Owens, supra; People v. Valle, 143 A.D.2d 160).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Kunzeman, J.P., Weinstein, Kooper and Balletta, JJ., concur.
