Parsons v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Parsons's motion for judgment of acquittal or a new trial. It held that sufficient evidence supported the jury's finding that the handgun was concealed because it was not visible through ordinary observation from outside the vehicle, and that any prejudice from the prosecutor's officer-safety comments was cured by the trial judge's instruction. The Court also noted that Parsons's prosecutorial-misconduct characterization of the claim was waived because it was not specifically raised.
