Overview: Defendant's conviction for first degree manslaughter was reversed in the interest of justice, CPL 470.15(3)(c), (6)(a) because the trial court's jury instruction on justification, Penal Law § 35.15(2), while not challenged at trial, was erroneous as it improperly stated that the question was one of whether defendant "could have retreated."
