Description:
Charlotte, North Carolina criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with felony possession of a firearm.



The Government bears the burden of proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a defendant possessed a firearm in connection with another felony offense. See United States v. Kobito, 994 F.3d 696, 701 (4th Cir. 2021). "This burden simply require the trier of fact to believe that the existence of a fact is more probable than its nonexistence.” United

States v. Patterson, 957 F.3d 426, 435 (4th Cir. 2020) (internal quotation marks omitted). A district court's case-specific determination that a defendant possessed a firearm in connection with another offense is a factual determination that we review for clear error. United States v. Pettus, 90 F.4th 282, 287 (4th Cir. 2024).
