On November 14,1996, the Defendant’s application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court.

The Defendant was present and was represented by Michelle Friend, legal intern of the Montana Defender Project. The state was not represented.

Before hearing the application, the Defendant was advised that the Sentence Review Division has the authority not only to reduce the sentence or affirm it, but also to increase it. The defendant was further advised that there is no appeal from a decision of the Sentence Review Division. The defendant acknowledged that he understood this and stated that he wished to proceed.

After careful consideration, it is the unanimous decision of the Sentence Review Division that the sentence shall be amended as follows: The defendant is sentenced to ten (10) years to the Department of Corrections with five (5) years suspended. All conditions of the July 23, 1996 judgment shall remain the same as imposed.

The reason for the amendment are to bring this sentence into conformity with similar sentences in Montana for similar crimes.

Done in open Court this 14th day of November, 1996.

The Sentence Review Board wishes to thank Michelle Friend, legal intern of the Montana Defender Project, for representing John L. Camp in this matter.
