Possession of Weapons
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon. Although facts support inference that Defendant lived in his fiancee's apartment, they are not sufficient in face of other evidence to sustain State's burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt his possession and control of bedroom where weapon and ammunition was found in armoire and underneath mattress. (HYMAN and PALMER, concurring.)
