Criminal Court
Weapons
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of 2 counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon (UUWF) and 2 counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW). Defendant's prior AUUW conviction satisfied predicate felony element of UUWF because he did not clear his felon status before obtaining a firearm. (LAVIN, concurring; HYMAN, specially concurring.)
