Description
Defendant-appellant Chad Everrett Vanstory appeals his guilty convictions of and sentences for (1) robbery in the first degree in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 708-840 (1993), (2) carrying or use of firearm in the commission of a separate felony in violation of HRS § 134-6(a) (Supp. 1994), (3) felon in possession of a firearm in violation of HRS § 134-7(b) (Supp. 1994), and (4) felon in possession of firearm ammunition in violation of HRS § 134-7(b) (Supp. 1994). Vanstory contends that: (1) the trial court's failure to define semiautomatic firearm warrants reversal of his convictions; and (2) the sentencing court erroneously imposed a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment on the basis of semiautomatic weapon in derogation of Garringer v. State, 80 Hawaii 327, 990 P.2d 1142 (1996). Additionally, the prosecution concedes that Vanstory's conviction of carrying or use of firearm in the commission of a separate felony, under HRS § 134-6(a), must be reversed pursuant to State v. Jumila, 87 Hawaii 1, 950 P.2d 1201 (1998).
