PEOPLE v. CAREY

PER CURIAM.

Defendant, charged in Count I with possesion of a stolen motor vehicle (MCLA § 257.254 [Stat Ann 1968 Rev § 9.1954]) and in Count II with carrying a concealed weapon (MCLA § 750.227 [Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.424]), was convicted upon a jury verdict and appeals as of right.

We must reverse defendant's conviction for possession of a stolen motor vehicle on the authority of People v. Morton (1970), 384 Mich. 38.

Regarding defendant's conviction for carrying a concealed weapon we find no error. The prosecution need not disprove statutory exceptions unless advanced by defendant. MCLA § 776.20 (Stat Ann 1971. Cum Supp § 28.1274[1]); People v. Jiminez (1970), 27 Mich. App. 633; People v. Gilleylen (1971), 31 Mich. App. 416.

No error lies in the prosecution's failure to affirmatively prove venue in view of defendant's failure to object. MCLA § 767.45 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.985); People v. Eugene Collins (1970), 28 Mich. App. 526.

Further, the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction.

Defendant's contention of misjoinder of counts was never presented to the trial court and is thus not preserved for appeal. MCLA § 767.76 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.1016).

Reversed as to Count I and affirmed as to Count II.
