Topic: Possession of firearm by convicted felon - Sufficiency of evidence

Summary of the Facts: Larry McNulty was convicted as a felon in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to serve three years. He appeals.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: McNulty argues that the evidence against him was insufficient, because there is no evidence that could connect him to the gun. McNulty admitted he was a convicted felon. There was an eyewitness who saw McNulty with a gun in his hand. A reasonable hypothetical juror could find McNulty guilty based on the evidence presented.
