Description
[67 N.Y.2d 541 Page 543] Opinion OF THE COURT Justification is a defense to depraved indifference murder and, where evidence supporting the defense has been presented, refusal to instruct the jury that the People must disprove justification beyond a reasonable doubt is reversible error. We, therefore, reverse the order of the Appellate Division which affirmed defendant's conviction and remit for a new trial.
