Judgment affirmed.
Under the totality of circumstances, Criminal Term properly found that the defendant's confession was not involuntary as a matter of law. We find the contentions raised by the defendant to be unpersuasive. Although the defendant's breath had the odor of alcohol, the evidence did not indicate that he was intoxicated to the point of rendering his confession involuntary (see, People v Schompert, 19 N.Y.2d 300, cert denied 389 U.S. 874). Moreover, the entire period of questioning lasted only 45 minutes, a period of time which is not, in itself, conducive to eliciting a false or involuntary statement (see, People v. Perry, 77 A.D.2d 269). Further, the statement made by the detective questioning the defendant, to the effect that if the defendant told the truth the detective would speak to the District Attorney on his behalf, is not the type of encouragement which is constitutionally prohibited (see, People v. Perry, supra; People v. White, 63 A.D.2d 752).
Nor do we find merit to the defendant's contention that the court improperly denied his request to charge criminally negligent homicide as a lesser included offense. There was no reasonable view of the evidence which would have supported a conviction of the lesser but not the greater offense (see, People v. Henderson, 41 N.Y.2d 233; People v. Ivisic, 95 A.D.2d 307).
The other contentions raised by the defendant have been examined and found to be meritless. Thompson, J.P., Rubin, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
