1Opinion of the Court

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie Wittner, J.), rendered July 12, 1995, convicting défendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to consecutive terms of 25 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. Questions relating to evaluation of conflicting expert testimony were properly presented to the jury, and its determinations accepting the testimony of the prosecution witnesses and rejecting the defenses of insanity and extreme emotional disturbance are supported by the record.
