State of Indiana v. Kinshasha Johnson
24A-CR-2146
Criminal. Reverses the Tippecanoe Superior Court’s order granting Kinshasha Johnson’s motion to dismiss charges of Level 4 felony unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and Level 5 felony unlawful carrying of a handgun. Finds that the trial court abused its discretion in dismissing the unlawful carrying a handgun charge on the grounds that the Illinois conviction was not substantially similar to an Indiana offense.

Remands for further proceedings. Attorneys for appellant: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Courtney Staton. Attorney for appellee: Shay Hughes.
