Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that testimony of a witness that appellant possessed a firearm is sufficient to prove possession even if the gun is never recovered
holding that eyewitness testimony alone is sufficient to establish possession in firearms convictions
holding eyewitness testimony sufficient to sustain firearm possessory violations even though no weapon was recovered by the police
holding victim’s testimony that assailant possessed firearm during offense was sufficient to establish use of firearm in violation of Uniform Firearms Act, even if police did not recover firearm
noting that “there is no requirement that the items taken in a theft or robbery be recovered” and the fact that a weapon is not found “is not dispositive” of whether the defendant was in possession of a firearm
holding: “our disposition does not upset the [trial] court’s sentencing scheme as the sentence we reverse here had been ordered to run concurrent to the sentence imposed on [another] conviction. Under these circumstances, there is no need to remand for resentencing”
