Criminal Law, Evidence

INSUFFICIENT PROOF OF CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A WEAPON UNDER AN ACCESSORIAL LIABILITY THEORY 3RD DEPT.

The Third Department determined there was insufficient proof of defendant’s criminal possession of a weapon under an accessorial liability theory:

… [A]s for defendant’s convictions of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, the conclusion that defendant was an accessory to Anderson or Bost [co-defendants] in their unlawful possession of weapons is against the weight of the evidence … . There was no proof presented during the trial that defendant ever personally possessed one of the handguns or in any way encouraged or intentionally aided Anderson or Bost in their possession of the handguns … .. Accordingly, as “there was no evidence that . . . defendant solicited, requested, commanded, importuned, or intentionally aided another individual to possess the firearm” … , we reverse defendant’s convictions of counts 3 and 4 of the indictment for criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and dismiss said counts. People v Spencer, 2017 NY Slip Op 05631, 3rd Dept 7-13-17
