Police Reports
District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that the Pennsylvania Superior Court has affirmed the conviction of the Kane woman convicted of numerous gun violations.
Marily Woodford-McMahon was convicted at a jury trial in 2023 of Possession of a Firearm with Obliterated Serial Number (Felony 2); 3 Counts of Receiving Stolen Property (firearms) (Felony 2); 3 counts of Receiving Stolen Property (crossbows) (Misdemeanor 1); 2 counts of Possessing an Offensive Weapon (2 sawed-off shotguns) (Misdemeanor 1); and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (Misdemeanor).
She was sentenced to incarceration of 39 months to 108 months and additional terms in a state correctional facility.
WOODFORD-MCMAHON appealed her case to the Superior Court asserting there was insufficient evidence to convict her of the charges.
By Opinion dated November 14th, the Superior Court affirmed her conviction. In affirming the conviction, the Court noted that the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she committed the crimes for which she was convicted citing, in part, the location of the firearms – in her bedroom, under her bed, and in her closet and among her personal possessions including her clothes and marijuana she claimed was hers; her “implausible and shifting” statements to police first disclaiming any knowledge of the weapons at all and then admitting she touched one of them; and the close proximity between the date some of the items were stolen and the date State Police searched WOODFROD-MCMAHON’S residence and found them.
