THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Appellant, v. DANIEL ZIPFEL, Respondent.

Appeal by the People from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, entered December 9, 1974, which granted defendant's motion to set aside a jury verdict convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree, and dismissed the indictment. Order reversed, on the law, the indictment and jury verdict are reinstated; and the case is remanded to Criminal Term for further proceedings not inconsistent herewith. On a motion to set aside the verdict of a jury, the defendant bears the burden of establishing grounds on which the conviction, if appealed from, would have to be reversed as a matter of law (CPL 330.30, subd 1; 330.40, subd 2, par [g]). On this record it was entirely proper for the trial court to submit the charge of manslaughter in the second degree as a lesser included offense of murder (see CPL 300.40; People v Asan, 22 N.Y.2d 526; People v Blowe, 40 A.D.2d 982). The other arguments raised by the defendant have been considered and found to be without merit. Martuscello, Acting P.J., Christ, Shapiro, Titone and Hawkins, JJ., concur.
