>>> "Yuri R. Linetsky" <[email protected]> 02/12/09 4:44 PM >>> One of my law school's Criminal Defense clinic students is working on a case involving an individual charged with illegal possession of a firearm under Ohio's firearm disability statute, which prohibits possession of a firearm by anyone convicted of a drug offense. This individual has a minor misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction. In Ohio minor misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum $150 fine and no jail time, so no right to counsel attaches, and I assume the individual had no counsel when he was convicted of the drug possession charge. So the question, and request: is anyone aware of cases where challenges to such state disability statutes have been raised post Heller? Also helpful would be briefs challenging such a disability statute. Thanks, Yuri Yuri R. Linetsky, Esq Vis.
