People v. Thomas

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kooper, J.), rendered September 12, 1983, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of imprisonment of 5 to 15 years and 3 to 9 years, respectively.

Judgment affirmed.

The court’s determination that the police did not intentionally deprive defendant of access to his family in an effort to deny him his right to counsel is supported by the evidence (see, People v Fuschino, 59 NY2d 91).
