How have the courts treated evidence of a defendant's possession of multiple firearms?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hawk, F059371 (Cal. App. 2014):

defendant made no objection when testimony concerning his possession of multiple firearms was elicited from several witnesses, but rather only objected to admission of the physical evidence itself.60 Because defense counsel failed to object to the testimony recounting defendant's possession of the firearms, "any error with respect to the admission of the physical evidence must be viewed as harmless in light of" that testimony. (People v. Prince, supra, 40 Cal.4th at p. 1248.)
