IRELAND, J.
Defendant claimed error in his bench trial conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree because the judge's findings did not expressly include the element of knowledge as required by a case decided after his conviction. Because the court's unchallenged written findings necessitate an inference of knowledge, we hold any error in the findings harmless beyond a reasonable doubt and affirm the conviction.
