People v. White

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 25, 1990
162 A.D.2d 746 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

June 25, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant was found in possession of two guns. She claimed that the guns had been placed into her handbag without her knowledge and that the possession was involuntary. The court gave a knowing possession charge that took into account the defendant's alleged involuntary possession. Under the circumstances, the charge given by the trial court was proper. The charge unquestionably conveyed to the jurors the proper standard by which they were to judge the defendant's guilt or innocence (cf., People v. Joyce, 157 A.D.2d 747).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit (see, People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818, 819; People v. Baldo, 107 A.D.2d 751, 752; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Lawrence, J.P., Kunzeman, Rubin and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
