State v. Green
Annotate this Case
David Green pled guilty to felony aggravated assault and was sentenced to twenty years, with fifteen years suspended upon conditions. The conditions included the requirement that Green not use or possess illegal drugs. Defense counsel objected to the conditions on the basis that Green had no history of alcohol use and that the incident resulting in Green's charges did not involve alcohol. The district court overruled defense counsel's objection, finding that Green's refraining from alcohol use, considering his violent history, was necessary for his total rehabilitation. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court's imposition of green's alcohol-related sentencing conditions, holding that a sufficient nexus existed between the alcohol-related conditions and Green as an offender, and therefore, the district court did not err in imposing the conditions.
