People v. Mike
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention of defendant that the verdict finding him guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law former § 265.03) is against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). There is no support in the record for his contention that he acted in self defense. In any event, justification is not a defense to a charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (see, People v Pons, 68 NY2d 264, 267; People v Sebak, 270 AD2d 166, 167, lv denied 95 NY2d 803).
