PEOPLE v. CRUZ

Judgment affirmed.

The alleged errors of law were not properly preserved for review (see, CPL 470.05). As the charge, taken in its entirety, adequately explained the concepts of proof necessary before a defendant may be convicted in a criminal case, reversal is not warranted in the interest of justice (see, People v Townes, 104 A.D.2d 1057; People v. Thompson, 97 A.D.2d 554; People v. Ortiz, 92 A.D.2d 595). We have reviewed the defendant's other contention and decline to reverse on that ground in the interest of justice. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Gibbons and Bracken, JJ., concur.
