OPINION OF THE COURT

G.B. SMITH, J.

Defendant was convicted, after a nonjury trial, of reckless endangerment in the first degree in violation of Penal Law § 120.25. Because the verdict, as enunciated by the trial judge and affirmed by the Appellate Division, does not conform to this Court's precedents, we modify by reducing the conviction to reckless endangerment in the second degree.
