People v. Dillard

Defendant was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, MCL 750.224Í, carrying a concealed weapon, MCL 750.227, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b. The trial court granted defendant’s motion to dismiss the felony-firearm charge on the basis that charging him with this count, in addition to the felon in possession charge, would violate defendant’s con stitutional protections against double jeopardy. The prosecutor appeals by delayed leave granted the trial court’s dismissal of the felony-firearm count. We reverse and remand.

A double jeopardy…
