People v. Wade

Defendant was found guilty of being an armed habitual criminal and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Defendant appealed both his sentence and convictions. The appellate court affirmed in part and vacated in part, affirming the sentence by finding defendant failed to establish that the trial court relied on improper sentencing factors and that his sentence was not excessive, but vacating defendant’s conviction for unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon because it violated the one-act, one-crime rule. (MARTIN and ROCHFORD, concurring)
