How has the court treated a voluntary manslaughter conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Penix, D067480 (Cal. App. 2015):

that Penix put it there. The court could reasonably infer that it was unlikely that Penix placed the gun in the engine compartment without the knowledge of his friend and roommate who, from Penix's point of view, owned the truck. Accordingly, the court could reasonably conclude that the evidence showed that Long constructively possessed the guni.e., that the gun was " 'under his dominion and control, either directly or through [Penix].' " (People v. Blakely, supra, 225 Cal.App.4th at p. 1052.) The court did not err in allowing the prosecution to amend the information at trial to charge Long with possession of a firearm by a felon.
