State v. Old Bull

The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s imposition of a seven and one-half year parole restriction on Defendant’s sentence for obstructing justice but remanded for the purpose of striking the condition that Defendant register as a violent offender.Defendant was convicted of criminal endangerment and obstructing justice. Defendant was sentenced to ten years imprisonment, parole restricted for the entire term, on her criminal endangerment conviction and ten years imprisonment, parole restricted for seven and one-half years, on her conviction for obstructing justice, to be served consecutively to her criminal endangerment sentence. The Supreme Court held that the district court (1) did not err by imposing a parole eligibility restriction on Defendant’s sentence for obstructing justice; but (2) erred in requiring Defendant to register as a violent offender where neither of the crimes of which Defendant was convicted are included among the crimes requiring violent offender registration.
