The People of the State of New York v. Felton Cavines

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's finding that the firearm and ammunition were operable at the time of the defendant's possession. The Court concluded that the ESU officer's removal of the jammed round did not materially alter the gun and that the subsequent test‑fire demonstrated operability.
