PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V JOE F. WESLEY, JR.; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V SAMUEL TAORMINA; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V GERALD PHILLIPS; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V PHILLIP PHILLIPS; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V JAMES THREET; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V KEITH D. DOPP, 421 MICH 375 (1984): Appendix for Appellant

This legal volume serves as the Appendix for the Appellant in the consolidated case of People v. Wesley, et al., 421 Mich 375, a landmark ruling issued by the Michigan Supreme Court in 1984. The litigation arose from a series of criminal cases in which the defendants challenged the constitutionality of Michigan's felony-firearm statute, specifically arguing against the application of double jeopardy protections when multiple charges stemmed from the same criminal transaction. The appendix was compiled to provide the appellate court with the essential trial court records, transcripts, and procedural documents required to evaluate the defendants' claims.

The document was produced within the rigorous standards of the Michigan judicial system to facilitate formal legal review. As an official legal resource, its design prioritized clarity, structural accessibility, and archival integrity, reflecting the standard practice for appellate filings in the mid-1980s. While such volumes are rarely intended for broad public consumption, they remain critical primary sources for legal scholars and practitioners interested in the evolution of Michigan criminal law, particularly concerning how the judiciary interprets legislative intent in complex multi-defendant criminal proceedings.
