State v. Dyer

The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals determining that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Defendant to two years’ imprisonment and twelve months’ postrelease supervision connected to Defendant’s no contest plea to a charge of enticement by electronic communication device. On appeal, Defendant claimed that the district court had imposed an excessive sentence. The Supreme Court affirmed after clarifying certain standards relating to a sentencing decision under Neb. Rev. Stat. 29-2204.02, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it determined that there were substantial and compelling reasons why Defendant could not effectively and safely be supervised in the community and when it therefore imposed a sentence of imprisonment rather than probation.
