1. “Assessing the Costs of Prosecution Juarez claims that the trial court erred in requiring him to repay the costs of the prosecution. We agree. During the sentencing hearing, the prosecution offered no evidence to establish the costs of prosecution, and the trial court's oral imposition of judgment and sentence did not include these particular costs to be repaid by Juarez. When the costs appeared in the written judgment and sentence five days after the sentencing hearing, they appeared as a lump sum with no identification or itemization of specific costs. On review, we have no way of knowing what particular costs are being imposed and whether the lump sum includes improper institutional costs. Kaess v. State, 748 P.2d 698, 702-03 (Wyo.1987). We find that the trial court erred in the manner in which it imposed costs of the prosecution as part of Juarez's sentence, and we strike those costs from the judgment and sentence without remand. Keller v. State, 771 P.2d at 387.”
