Richard J. Costanza for the Defendant.
Opinion
Appeal by Defendant from judgment entered 11 September 2014 by Judge V. Bradford Long in Randolph County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 21 October 2015.
This is especially true in light of the fact that defense counsel made several pre-trial motions, one of which was an unsuccessful motion to dismiss the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon under Supreme Court precedent in Lambert v. California, 355 U.S. 225, 78 S.Ct. 240, 2 L.Ed.2d 228 (1957).
