Defendant has failed to preserve his repugnancy claim for appellate review, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review it, we would reject it ( see, People v. Tucker, 55 N.Y.2d 1). Defendant's acquittal on one of the third-degree weapon possession charges was not inconsistent with the convictions on those counts for which possession of a loaded firearm is not an essential element. As for the remaining counts, we find that, under the acting-in-concert theory that was charged, the jury could have convicted defendant on both of the second-degree weapon possession charges while acquitting him on one of the two third-degree possession charges.
The evidentiary rulings challenged by defendant were proper exercises of discretion. The People's medical evidence was proper rebuttal of defendant's testimony, while the medical records offered by defendant were insufficiently linked to the claimed injuries at issue.
