Hard to escape what appears to be the facts from the outset. That the police had no evidence that Emoni had altered the gun's identification, yet they charged him with the felony of altering the pistol.

His father saying on the phone that "did they find my gun" is evidence that Emoni may have known the gun was in the car, and his subsequent expected plea to illegally transporting a gun is an admission on his part that he knew the gun was in the car.

His lawyer did a good job, for if he complies with the diversion program, conviction on that charge will be dismissed.
