Opinion
SIMONS, J.
The trial court granted a motion by defendant Horace William Chappie (respondent) to set aside the information (Pen. Code, 1 § 995) charging him with possession of body armor by a felon (§ 12370, subd. (a)) (hereafter § 12370(a)), on the ground that opinion evidence offered by a police officer was inadmissible, and, as a consequence, there was insufficient evidence that the item the police seized was body armor as defined in section 12370(a). The People appeal contending the police officer’s testimony was proper lay opinion. We reject the contention and affirm.
