State v. Hinton

|2The defendant, Daniel Hinton, Jr., was charged by bill of information with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a violation of La. R.S. 14:95.1. The defendant filed a motion to quash the bill of information, arguing that his prior conviction could not be used as a predicate offense in the instant case. Following a hearing, the trial court granted the motion to quash. The State now appeals, arguing the trial court erred in granting the motion to quash. See La.Code Crim. P. art. 912(B)(1). For the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial court’s ruling granting the motion to quash.
