Police Reports

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 14^th, 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.
