Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
In re Weapons Restriction of J.
June 21, 20222022 ME 34
Summary
The court affirmed the extension of J.'s weapons restriction under Maine's Yellow Flag statute. It held that the statute is compatible with the Maine Constitution's right to bear arms, is not unconstitutionally vague, and was supported by competent evidence satisfying the clear-and-convincing standard. The court also held that the trial court's lack of additional written factual findings and the prosecutor's closing argument did not constitute reversible error.
