“Gallagher now challenges his sentence on appeal, and, consistent with our rule in State v. Lenihan (1979), 184 Mont. 338 , 602 P.2d 997 , we will review his challenge to the illegality of the sentence, despite no objection in the trial court. Lenihan , 184 Mont. at 343 , 602 P.2d at 1000 ; see also State v. Brister , 2002 MT 13, ¶ 16 , 308 Mont. 154, ¶ 16 , 41 P.3d 314, ¶ 16 .”
