After he was caught trying to steal pistols from a police precinct's locker room, Elijah Cummings was tried in the New York County Supreme Court and convicted of second degree burglary and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (and sentenced "20 years to life" as a "persistent felony offender").
On appeal to the Appellate Division, First Department, Cummings sought reversal of the burglary conviction on the grounds that the station wasn't a "dwelling," and that mistakes had been made at his trial.
Citing his failure to challenge the prosecutor's evidence or case, and finding "no basis" for a reversal, the AD1 summarily cratered Cumming's contentions.
No point further dwelling on that.
