Hall v. State

by
The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s decision denying Defendant’s motion for sentence reduction, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion.Defendant pled guilty to five felonies involving child sexual abuse. The district court accepted Defendant’s plea and the sentence to which the parties agreed. The court then entered its judgment and sentenced Defendant to an aggregate term of forty-five to fifty years in prison. Defendant later filed a pro se motion for sentence reduction, citing his good behavior in prison and attaching a letter from his mother and a certificate of completion of a victim impact course. The district court denied the motion, determining that Defendant failed make a showing that justified or required a modification or reduction of his sentences. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that none of the grounds Defendant raised on appeal provided a basis for reversal of the district court’s denial of Defendant’s motion for sentence reduction.
