INCLUSORY CONCURRENT COUNTS DISMISSED; POSSESSION OF A WEAPON SENTENCE SHOULD BE CONCURRENT WITH THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AND ASSAULT SENTENCES (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined three inclusory concurrent counts must be dismissed and the possession of a weapon sentence should run concurrently with the attempted murder and assault sentences:

… [T]he defendant’s convictions of assault in the second degree under Penal Law § 120.05(1) and (2) must be dismissed as lesser included concurrent counts of assault in the first degree under Penal Law § 120.10(1) (see CPL 300.40[3][b] …). Additionally, the conviction of burglary in the second degree under Penal Law § 140.25(2) must be dismissed as a lesser included concurrent count of burglary in the first degree under Penal Law § 140.30(4) … , and the conviction of criminal possession of a firearm under Penal Law § 265.01-b(1) must be dismissed as a lesser included concurrent count of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree under Penal Law § 265.03(1)(b) … .

We agree with the defendant that the resentence imposed on the conviction of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree under count 8 of the indictment must run concurrently with the resentences imposed on the convictions of attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the first degree, which related to the same complainant … . The People’s theory under count 8 of the indictment pertained specifically to that complainant, and the jury was charged accordingly … . People v Mahon, 2020 NY Slip Op 06550, Second Dept 11-12-20
