Court of Appeals of New York

Defendants' convictions for robbery are affirmed, where: 1) defendants were not deprived of effective representation at trial by, among other alleged omissions, counsel's failure to assert as an affirmative defense that one of two weapons allegedly displayed during the robbery "was not a loaded weapon from which a shot, readily capable of producing death or serious physical injury, could be discharged"; and 2) record support exists for the lower courts' determination that the robbery victim's showup identification of defendants was proper.
