Opinion
November 9, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Covington, J.).
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence. There is no legal requirement that defendant personally possess and use a weapon in the course of a robbery. The evidence established that defendant intentionally aided (Penal Law § 20.00) members of his group who seized one victim's operable gun and used it against both victims in stealing property (Penal Law § 160.15).
Defendant's claim of repugnant verdicts is without merit ( People v Tucker, 55 N.Y.2d 1).
