P. v. Butler
A jury convicted defendant of possession of a firearm by a felon (count 1 Pen. Code, 12021, subd. (a)(1)), possession of ammunition by a felon (count 2 12316, subd. (b)(1)), and carrying a loaded firearm, of which he was not the registered owner, on a public street (count 3 12031, subd. (a)(2)(f)). On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the firearm because (1) the discovery of the firearm was a result of defendants illegal detention, and (2) defendant never gave consent to search his car. Court find the courts ruling on the motion to suppress supported by substantial evidence and, therefore, affirm the judgment below.
