Criminal Practice – Weapon Possession – Multiple Days & Locations – Recent Possession Doctrine

State v. Lee Even though only one weapon was involved, defendant used it in nine different locations on 10 different days over the course of a month. Because each possession of the weapon was separate in time and location, the trial court did not err in denying defendant’s motion to dismiss the multiple weapons possession charges. We find no error in defendant’s convictions of 10 counts of armed robbery, seven counts of possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction, and 10 counts of possession of a firearm by a felon.
