P. v. Etchegoin
Defendant was convicted of being an accessory to a felon's possession of a firearm and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and placed on probation. Defendant argues: (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the delinquency conviction; (2) the court erroneously instructed the jury that it could draw an unfavorable inference from his failure to deny or explain facts within his knowledge; and (3) his trial counsel ineffectively failed to request an instruction that defendant's voluntary intoxication could negate the specific intent required for the firearm offense. Since the evidence was sufficient, any instructional error was harmless, and defendant has not established that trial counsel was ineffective, court affirm the judgment.
