Court of Appeals of New York
People v. Atkinson, 97
Order of the Appellate Division should be modified by reducing defendant's conviction of depraved indifference murder, Penal Law section 125.25 [2], to manslaughter in the second degree, Penal Law section 125.15 [1]), over the contention that defendant forfeited his right to challenge the sufficiency of his conviction for depraved indifference murder by requesting that the jury be charged on the lesser-included offense of manslaughter in the second degree.
