155 Mont. 12

State v. Schatz

Montana Supreme Court

Decided April 14, 1970

Montana Supreme Court · decided 1970-04-14

Decided 1970-04-14

¶1DECISION

¶2The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of Three years with 134 days jail time credit for Second Degree Assault, imposed on December 6, 1968, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that:

¶3The sentence be and remain as originally imposed.

¶4It appears that this sentence was proper, reasonable, and lenient, the crime, the individual, and the sentencing goals kept in mind. Defendant assaulted a guard while being returned to Pine Hills School after escape and only received this sentence after violation of the conditions of a two year deferred imposition of sentence. The sentence might have been for 6 years and he will be eligible for parole consideration in May, 1970.

¶5As to defendant’s desire to be free from supervision after release, his record does not justify the granting of the same by sentence reduction.
