Kelly Restores Second Amendment Rights So Client Can Move Beyond His Conviction and Rejoin Society with the Same Rights
When Kelly’s client was in high school his family fell on hard times. He had always been a ‘good kid’ but began to act out when they lost their house. He was ultimately convicted at the age of 18 in Ramsey County of Felony Aiding and Abetting Second Degree Burglary for entering a neighbor’s garage with two friends with the intent to steal some items to pawn. This led to a lifetime ban on possessing firearms. Since that time, Kelly’s client has made tremendous progress in moving beyond those difficult times: he went back and graduated from high school, became sober, and became an expert in swiss machining through higher education. The judge agreed with Kelly’s forceful argument that her client had reformed, restoring his gun rights. Kelly’s client now enjoys all the rights and privileges of any other citizen and can deer hunt with his family on family-owned land in Northern Minnesota.
