85 Or. App. 421

State v. Young

Court of Appeals of Oregon

Decided May 13, 1987

Court of Appeals of Oregon · decided 1987-05-13

Applies OR 163 § 163.115

Decided 1987-05-13

PER CURIAM

¶1Defendant appeals his conviction for murder, ORS 163.115. He first contends that there was insufficient evidence presented to sustain the conviction. Defendant did not raise the issue at trial, and we decline to address it.

¶2He next contends that the sentences imposed were excessive and constituted cruel and unusual punishment. We conclude that, under all the circumstances, they were not.

¶3The state concedes in its brief and defendant agrees in a supplemental memorandum, that the discretionary minimum sentence imposed pursuant to ORS 163.115(3)(b) and (c) was unlawful. That statute was not in effect at the time of the homicide.

¶4Judgment modified to delete 25-year minimum sentence for murder; otherwise affirmed.
