“By definition, the essential elements of attempted possession of a firearm are also essential elements of the greater offense charged. Thus, the evidence which supports a conviction of possession of a firearm necessarily supports a conviction of the lesser offense of attempt. The jury in fact chose to return a responsive verdict of count two, attempted illegal possession of a stolen thing, though the evidence clearly would have supported a conviction of the completed offense. There is a reasonable probability that the jury would have returned the responsive verdict of attempt on count one, if the proper instruction had been given. Considering the seriousness of the error as evidenced by the foregoing jurisprudence, defendant has established ineffective assistance of counsel under the Strickland standard.”
