Complex Weapon's Case

We had a recent hearing involving what the federal law calls an “Armed Career Criminal Act” law.

If a defendant is classified as a ACCA offender, then the mandatory minimum sentence is 15 years in federal prison.

In this particular case, our client may or may not have what is known as a “criminal history” which would make the client fit the ACCA definition.

Our representation in this particular case requires lots of research of how the ACCA works, and the suppression issues related to how the police located the weapon in question. Stay tuned on this one as well.
