PEOPLE v. TOMBACK

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Nov 24, 1997

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contentions are unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Satloff, 56 N.Y.2d 745, 746; People v. Sutherland, 166 A.D.2d 732). In any event, contrary to the defendant's contention, the jury's verdict was not repugnant as a matter of law since a verdict was rendered only as to one count ( see, People v. Tucker, 55 N.Y.2d 1, 6). In addition, the defense of justification is inapplicable to the crime of criminal possession of a weapon ( see, People v. Pons, 68 N.Y.2d 264; People v. Almodovar, 62 N.Y.2d 126; People v. Cosby, 200 A.D.2d 682, 683).

Santucci, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and Luciano, JJ., concur.
