Montana Supreme Court, 1984

State v. Kelly

State v. Kelly
Montana Supreme Court · Decided January 6, 1984 · Gary, Henson, Hon, Review, Sullivan
210 Mont. 15

State v. Kelly

Opinion of the Court

DECISION

The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of 10 years on each of 5 counts of Burglary; all to run concurrently; DANGEROUS; imposed on June 30, 1983 was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that: the sentence shall be amended to 10 years on each of the 5 counts of Burglary; the sentences shall be served concurrently; and the Defendant shall be designated as NON-DANGEROUS for purposes of parole eligibility.

This Board finds that designating the Defendant as DANGEROUS does not comply with Mont. Code Ann. Section 46-18-404, Subsection (l)(a) and (b), and it is improper to consider charges that did not result in a conviction.

Dissenting Opinion

HON. MARK B. SULLIVAN

DISSENTS: He would affirm the original sentence imposed.

We wish to thank Martin Jacobson of the Montana Defender Project for his assistance to the Defendant and to this Court.
