Commonwealth v. Williams, PICS Case No. 16-1521 (Pa. Super. Dec. 2, 2016) Gantman, P.J. (8 pages).

Court properly denied appellant's motion to dismiss his state charges of person not to possess a firearm after he was acquitted on federal charges of possession of a firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(1) based on the same incident because the federal and state statutes each required proof of facts not required by the other and the two statutes targeted different harms. Affirmed.
