STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED July 2, 1999 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 205422 Recorder’s Court LC No. 96-006785 BOBBY E. CARD, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Zahra, P.J., and Saad and Collins, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of carjacking, MCL 750.529a; MSA 28.797(a), and assault with intent to rob while armed, MCL 750.89; MSA 28.284. He was sentenced to two concurrent terms of five to fifteen years’ imprisonment. He appeals as of right. We affirm. Defendant contends that the admission into evidence of a knife, which was found on his person at the time of his arrest, denied him a fair trial. Because defendant did not object to the admission of the knife at trial, appellate review of this issue is waived absent manifest injustice. People v Turner, 213 Mich App 558, 583; 540 NW2d 728 (1995). In view of the victim’s testimony identifying defendant as her assailant and describing the use of a dark-bladed knife during the offense, we conclude that manifest injustice has not been demonstrated. See People v Howard, 391 Mich 597; 218 NW2d 20 (1974). Affirmed. /s/ Brian K. Zahra /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Jeffrey G. Collins -1
