State v. Skinner

The defendant was charged with assault with intent to inflict great bodily injury and with possession of a firearm by a felon. The jury found the defendant not guilty of assault but guilty on the second count. The defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in the admission of evidence and that section 28-1011.15, R. S. Supp., 1972, is invalid.
