Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of St. Lawrence County (Nicandri, J.), rendered May 31, 1994, upon a verdict convicting defendant of the crimes of burglary in the second degree and grand larceny in the third degree.
On or about June 26, 1993, defendant and Julia Dominique stole property, including tattooing equipment and dyes, jewelry and dollar and half-dollar coins, from the apartment of Rollin Stoddard and Shirley Stoddard. Following a jury trial, defendant and Dominique were each convicted of burglary in the second degree and grand larceny in the third degree. Sentenced as a second felony offender to an aggregate prison term of 5 to 10 years, defendant now appeals.
Initially, we reject defendant’s contentions addressed to the weight and sufficiency of the trial evidence. Notably, Stacy La Porte and Mandy La Porte, defendant’s brother and sister-in-law, testified that defendant and Dominique delivered the stolen property to their residence on June 27,1993 and at that time acknowledged that they had stolen the property from the Stoddards’ apartment. Although County Court erred in its determination that, because the La Portes illegally harbored and disposed of the stolen property they were accomplices with regard to the burglary and larceny charges (see, People v Brazeau,
We similarly reject as meritless the contentions that County Court erred in charging the jury with respect to evidence of unexplained possession of recently stolen property (see, People v Baskerville,
Cardona, P. J., White, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
