    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v William K. Dorler, Jr., Appellant.
    Argued March 31, 1981;
    decided April 30, 1981
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Bruce K. Carpenter for appellant.
    
      John T. Ward, District Attorney (Albert W. Foley of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed and a new trial ordered.

Review of Raynor’s trial testimony, including his readiness to there accept the accuracy of the version of the events he had tendered to the police and his earlier Grand Jury testimony, indicates that whether he was an accomplice of the defendant within the compass df GPL 60.22 (subd 2) was a question of fact. It, therefore, was error for the trial court to deny defendant’s request that it charge the jury to that effect.

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer concur in memorandum.

Order reversed, etc.
