Fortunately for Hampton, no charges were filed against her.
“At trial we would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the firearm was in the possession of the defendant,” the judgment read. “The key witness who places the firearm in the possession of the defendant was a person who had been accused of committing a crime against the defendant the day before. Defendant agrees that she did possesses the firearm in the past, so even if the defendant’s prints were found on the firearm, that evidence would not assist in this prosecution.”
