755 N.W.2d 316 (2008)

In the Matter of the WELFARE OF S.J.J.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

September 2, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lawrence Hammerling, Chief Appellate Public Defender, Susan J. Andrews, Assistant Public Defender, St. Paul, MN, for appellant.

Lori Swanson, Attorney General, St. Paul, MN, and Michael O. Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney, Linda K. Jenny, Assistant County Attorney, Minneapolis, MN, for respondent.

Considered and decided by LANSING, Presiding Judge; MINGE, Judge; and CONNOLLY, Judge.


OPINION

CONNOLLY, Judge.

Appellant was convicted after a jury trial of felony illegal possession of a firearm. Appellant now argues that there was insufficient evidence for a jury to find that he possessed the firearm, and therefore his conviction must be reversed. Because there is no fleeting-possession defense to this crime and because the evidence was sufficient to find that appellant did possess the firearm, we affirm.
