State v. Thompson

The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s convictions of driving under the influence, fifth offense, two counts of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, and other offenses but vacated the sentences imposed, holding that the district court committed plain error in sentencing Defendant.Specifically, the Court held that the district court (1) did not err in denying Defendant’s motions to recuse, suppress blood test results, and exclude blood test results under Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978); but (2) committed plain error in sentencing Defendant to license revocations for his convictions for three counts and in sentencing Defendant to determinate sentences, rather than indeterminate sentences, for four counts.
