I'm not so sure. If the DA doesn't want to persecute the kid, they can let the judge do their dirty work without looking like they're soft on crime.The DA/cops must've f***ed something up, thankfully for junior. An outright dismissal is rare for this sort of thing.

Nope.So... do they have to return his property to him now?
Damn. Glad it worked out but in a FREE society, there wouldn't have been a need for $10K+ of legal bills.

Nope.
This is why government should be forced to pay your legal bill when not found guilty. And also be liable for damages after.
There's his punishment right there. The legal system is its own punishment.I haven't heard what the final legal cost will be, but I know junior's lawyer was paid a $10k retainer initially.

Unsure if wisecrack or serious - if serious, why?
I actually DO agree with you. But my inner devil's advocate can't help but notice we'd have paid for OJ's successful defense against the prosecution for the murder he committed.
It doesn't apply at all. He was not traveling through mass......it was his final destination as he was reporting to work.
Fopa only applies to traveling through and brief stops for fuel restroom.

I can't comprehend how you forget a gun in your car right after a range trip. ?
Especially with the political gun climate, and all the gun hate, I stay on my toes, don't want any trouble.
No sympathy here. Just dumb.
His final destination was home at ct.
No. You are the one who is probably wrong. In most of the rest of the country, leaving a loaded firearm in your glove box is just basic safety 101.
A friend once had to look for a weapon which was fired in a robbery in Alabama. The weapon was thrown in a vehicle in the parking lot.
101 cars and trucks in the resuteaunt parking lot.
72 firearms found. Including the one used in the botched robbery.
I was told he was informed he wasn't getting it back. But if they did give it back to him... and he doesn't have an LTC... couldn't they bust him again the minute he took possession of it?Unsure if wisecrack or serious - if serious, why?

I've filed motions to return property on three gun cases so far. First one, I picked it up from the PD and gave it to defendant's father-in-law, who was licensed in Mass and where junior lived, so could transport it for him.I was told he was informed he wasn't getting it back.

Why would you leave your gun in the car?
If something happens in the restaurant, you have to zig zag pattern out to your car
Didn’t you see PULP FICTION. LOL
It's a TRAP!
I would think the BPD could release the firearm to local FFL, who would send it to a CT FFL, who would transfer it back to the owner. It should not be rocket science. I guarantee there is a policy/procedure for it, whether or not they follow it is open to debate.
As far as getting it back - if the charges were dismissed it no longer has value as evidence and SHOULD be returned to the owner as it is not intrinsically illegal for him to possess. Just not HERE.

In a normal state where a gun is equivalent to a hammer, there'd probably be one gun in every car i owned, at all times.
