Criminal defense

State vs. M.M. – Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon

Jan 01, 2025

OUTCOME: Judgment of Acquittal

Client charged with possession of a firearm in a case where there were pieces of an unassembled antique firearm found under a bed in client house. State failed to list an expert to testify on whether t ... he firearm was indeed operable, or able to be assembled. The State then attempted to list the officer who responded to the scene as a firearm expert. Mr. Dunn objected and sought a Richardson Hearing regarding State failure to list expert witness prior to trial. The Judge found there was a Richardson violation and granted Defense request to suppress officer testimony as expert testimony. Mr. Dunn then moved for a Judgment of Acquittal at conclusion of State’s case and was granted the Judgment of Acquittal. After spending the previous five months incarcerated on these charges that he always strenuously attested to his innocence, the client walked out of the courtroom that day.
