Description: Grand Rapids, Michigan criminal defense lawyers represented the Defendants charged with felon possession of firearms.

Defendants Demarcus Greely (“Greely”), Omarion Branch (“Branch”), and Torez Zaron Burnett (“Burnett”) each challenge their sentences. Greely pled guilty to unlawful possession of a machinegun, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o). He now argues that Section 922(o) is unconstitutional. Branch pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C § 922(g)(1). Similar to Greely, he argues that Section 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional. Burnett pled guilty to conspiracy to possess and transfer a machinegun, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 922(o), and possession and transfer of a machinegun, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o). Burnett argues that Section 922(g)(3) is unconstitutional and that the district court’s sentence was procedurally and substantively unreasonable.
