State v. Ellis
State v. Ellis
Opinion of the Court
Defendant appeals his conviction for menacing, a misdemeanor. ORS 163.190. He contends that the court erred by admitting certain evidence and by imposing a jail sentence as a condition of probation. The court did not err by admitting the challenged testimony; we address only the sentence.
The court imposed two years’ probation to the court and 60 days in jail as a condition of probation. The prosecutor informed the court that, under former ORS 137.540(2) and State v. Wold, 105 Or App 158, 803 P2d 782 (1991), it could not impose a jail term as a condition of probation.
Conviction affirmed; remanded for resentencing.
After the sentencing here, ORS 137.540(2) was amended. 1991 Or Laws, ch 196.
