Opinion
November 22, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the jury verdict convicting him of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and acquitting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree is repugnant. To the extent that the defendant's repugnancy claim is premised on the trial court's isolated misstatement as to the element of intent, it is unpreserved for appellate review because the defendant failed to raise this specific argument prior to the discharge of the jury (see, CPL 470.05; People v Alfaro, 66 N.Y.2d 985; People v Jansen, 130 A.D.2d 764). In any event, the jury's verdict is not legally repugnant when viewed in the context of the court's charge as a whole, since the jury's acquittal of the defendant for criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (see, Penal Law § 265.03) does not negate the intent element of murder in the second degree (see, Penal Law § 125.25; People v Tucker, 55 N.Y.2d 1; People v Haymes, 34 N.Y.2d 639, cert denied 419 U.S. 1003). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Lawrence and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
