Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the trial court's jury charge on the issue of reasonable doubt is not preserved for appellate review since there was no objection made at trial (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, while we disapprove of the reference to wavering minds to explain the meaning of reasonable doubt (see, e.g., People v Stevenson, 104 A.D.2d 835), the charge, read as a whole, conveyed the correct standard of proof to the jury (see, People v Stevenson, supra). Lawrence, J.P., Weinstein, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
