Description
Defendant was indicated and tried on charges of weapons possession as a result of driving a car in which two loaded, unlicensed
guns were found pursuant to a lawful stop and search by police. According to the testimony of the police officer, the search
for the guns was predicated on a police officer's observation of bullets in the console compartment [69 N.Y.2d 759 Page 760] --> between the front seats which were exposed to his view when the defendant opened the console to look for the car's registration.
The defendant denied that he opened the console and claimed that he had no knowledge that the guns were in the car, which
belonged to his brother. After deliberations had commenced, the court received the following inquiry from the jury: "when
searching for papers who opened the console[?]" The court reconvened the attorneys, the record reflecting the presence of
the defense counsel and the prosecutor but the absence of the defendant. The jury was not returned to the courtroom.
