155 Mont. 16

State v. Barcroft

Montana Supreme Court

Decided July 9, 1970

Montana Supreme Court · decided 1970-07-09

Decided 1970-07-09

¶1DECISION

¶2The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of Ten years for Manslaughter imposed on March 30, 1970, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that

¶3No change will be made in the sentence heretofore imposed.

¶4While the ten-year sentence is the maximum that could be imposed for the crime, the plea was entered on advice of the competent counsel and was only entered after a jury trial was imminently scheduled on the charge of Murder in the Second Degree. We feel under the total circumstances of this case that the sentence is justified.
