Commonwealth v. Pannell

The defendant was convicted by a jury in the District Court of carrying a firearm without a license in violation of G. L. c. 269, § 10(a ).2 On appeal, he claims error in the denial of his motion to suppress the firearm found in a diaper bag, which the defendant was carrying when the police stopped him, without, he argues, reasonable suspicion to believe that he had committed a crime. The defendant also contends that improprieties in the prosecutor's closing argument require reversal and that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction. We affirm.
