1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wallace
The issue presented is whether a defendant tried before a jury on the sole charge of second-degree possession of a weapon by a convicted person must be tried in a bifurcated trial, wherein the possession of a weapon element would be tried during the first stage of trial without reference to defendant’s prior criminal history, and the previous conviction element would be tried during the second stage.
