The court found Chi Do guilty of three counts of unauthorized transfer of a firearm, twelve counts of possession of a firearm for the purpose of trafficking, and one count of public mischief.
The case turned on the implausibility and inconsistencies in Ms. Do’s account of thefts, her financial circumstances, and the circumstantial evidence that firearms registered to her were found at a crime scene before she reported them stolen.
The court rejected her evidence and concluded that she intentionally transferred the firearms and fabricated the theft to mislead police.
