Court of Appeals of New York

Defendant's conviction and sentence for intentional second-degree murder of his wife and depraved indifference murder of his son is affirmed where: 1) defendant's claims, that his depraved indifference murder conviction is legally insufficient on a transferred intent theory, and that the trial court, during voir dire, erroneously described his right to remain silent, were unpreserved for appellate review; and 2) trial court properly imposed consecutive sentences for the two murders through separate acts though they were part of a single transaction.
