Idaho v. Shackelford
Annotate this CaseDale Shackelford appealed two consecutive fixed life sentences he received on resentencing for two first-degree murder convictions. He was initially sentenced to death for both murders but the death sentences were subsequently set aside. Shackelford contends that the district court committed error in resentencing him to the consecutive fixed life sentences. Upon review of the district court record, the Supreme Court concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion nor violate Shackelford's Sixth Amendment right of confrontation. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the judgment of conviction sentencing Shackelford to two consecutive fixed life sentences.
