Opinion
September 19, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Failla, J.).
In affirming the conviction of defendant's accomplice, we disposed of the argument that there was insufficient proof to establish that either defendant or her accomplice possessed the stolen money during the struggle to escape from the shop (People v. Plaza, 169 A.D.2d 681, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 965). In addition, there was sufficient proof to establish that defendant used force for the purpose of overcoming resistance to the taking of the money (Penal Law § 160.00).
