“(2) any prior felony for which the person was convicted other than an offense triable by court-martial if: (a)the conviction was rendered by a court of another state, the United States, a territory of the United States or the commonwealth of Puerto Rico; (b) the offense was punishable, at the time of conviction, by death, or a maximum term of imprisonment of more than one year; or (c) the offense would have been classified as a felony in this state at the time of conviction.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Burk · State v. May“This did not change the requirement that the sentence for current multiple felonies be enhanced on the basis of prior felony convictions. Each of the four current felony convictions is ‘a’ felony; the statute requires that the sentence for each of the current convictions be enhanced.”
