State v. Cox

ELMORE, Judge.

This case comes before us on remand from the North Carolina Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of the decision in State v. Sweat, 2012 N.C. LEXIS 416 (N.C. June 14, 2012). This opinion supercedes our earlier opinion. Upon reconsideration, we affirm our original decision. We find error as to defendant’s conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon and no error as to his conviction for possession of marijuana. We reverse in part, find no error in part, and remand for resentencing.
