Matter of Robert

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 27, 1976
54 A.D.2d 581 (N.Y. App. Div. 1976)

Opinion

September 27, 1976


Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County, dated August 4, 1975, which, upon a determination that appellant was a juvenile delinquent, made after a hearing, suspended judgment. Order affirmed, without costs or disbursements. The hearing court was warranted in finding beyond a reasonable doubt that the object possessed by the appellant, characterized as a "saber like type of knife", and a sword knife, with a 10- to 14-inch length, was a "dangerous knife" within the meaning of section 265.05 Penal of the Penal Law (see People v Kinred, 18 A.D.2d 1086). Hopkins, Acting P.J., Martuscello, Cohalan, Damiani and Shapiro, JJ., concur.
