  • “[Determining the identity of the pertinent victim, for purposes of merger under ORS 161.067, requires an examination of the specific substantive statute defining the relevant offense[.]”
  • the “victim” of a defendant’s violation of the felon in possession of a firearm statute, ORS 166.270, is the public
  • merger of guilty verdicts on 21 felon-in-possession counts was proper because there is only one victim for those crimes — the public — and there was no evidence of a sufficient pause in the criminal conduct
  • “[T]he meaning of ‘victim’ is not fixed; rather it is context specific.”
  • discussing merger of felon in possession of a firearm verdicts
