State v. Lantz

After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of three counts of first degree sexual assault of a child. Defendant was sentenced to fifteen to twenty-five years imprisonment on each count with two counts to be served consecutively and the third to be served concurrently with the other two. The court of appeals remanded the cause after finding plain error in the sentencing and ordered the district court to resentence Defendant’s convictions to be served consecutively to each other. The Supreme Court vacated the district court’s resentencing order and remanded with directions to reinstate the original sentences imposed by the district court, holding that it was not plain error for the district court to sentence Defendant concurrently for his third conviction under Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-319.01. View "State v. Lantz" on Justia Law
