PEOPLE v. MALAVE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Oct 7, 1985

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant argues on appeal that the trial court's charge was deficient because the jury was not informed that he had to share his coperpetrator's intent to commit a robbery with a gun. However, defendant made no objection to the Judge's charge and, therefore, the alleged error has not been preserved for our review (see, People v Thomas, 50 N.Y.2d 467; CPL 470.05). In any event, we find that the Trial Judge's charge was in conformity with Penal Law ยง 160.15 and no error was committed. The People need not establish that defendant knew his coperpetrator intended to use a deadly weapon (see, People v Parker, 97 A.D.2d 943; cf. People v Gomez, 87 A.D.2d 829). O'Connor, J.P., Rubin, Eiber and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
