People v. Henry

Defendant appealed from his convictions for aggravated vehicular hijacking, armed robbery, attempted aggravated vehicular hijacking, and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon. On appeal, defendant argued that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to dismiss the indictment for improper venue and that the evidence was insufficient to establish that he was armed with a firearm and to determine the value of a stolen cell phone. The appellate court affirmed in part and vacated in part, accepting the State’s concession that the defendant was improperly tried in the wrong county for several of the convictions, vacated those convictions and remanded for a new trial. The appellate court also remanded for re-sentencing on two other charges. (BRENNAN and ANDERSON, concurring)
