Baltimore Regulated Firearm Possession After a Disqualifying Conviction Sentences and Case Outcomes
Mooney’s court opinion gives a 15-year prohibited-person firearm term consecutive to assault and illegal-handgun terms, while Harris’s report gives 15 years for illegal firearm possession concurrent with a 40-year murder term. Those are not equivalent total judgments. Acevedo, Grant and Coates have combined outcomes whose separate possession-count terms are unspecified; life and multi-count totals are not possession-only endpoints.
Evidence scope: Five named offense episodes are represented. Mooney’s first five parole-ineligible years belong to his 15-year firearm term; his two additional one-year counts are concurrent within the 28-year total. Harris’s concurrent 15 years does not add to 40 to make 55. Prior disqualifying convictions establish reported possession context, not extra new qualifying cases. Acevedo’s source has an unresolved November 1/2 incident-date conflict. Relevant available court or prosecutor passages were read September 28, 2026. Independent municipal-point and broader later-docket verification remain incomplete; reported sentencing or one affirmance is not exhausted appeals. This selected sample is not all Baltimore cases, an average, a typical sentence or a prediction.

How to read the outcomes
A target-count allocation may describe one count, while an aggregate term may cover multiple counts, enhancements, or proceedings. Aggregate totals are not converted into an isolated sentence for Regulated Firearm Possession After a Disqualifying Conviction. No average or numerical citywide range is calculated.
An individual count, a concurrent term and an unallocated multi-offense total answer different questions. Do not infer unnamed convictions, a judge’s motives, a count allocation, an actual time served or a release date.
