White v. State (Majority, with Concurring)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Chad White was convicted of rape and second-degree battery and sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant appealed, arguing that the circuit court erred in (1) ordering him to complete a sex-offender treatment program while incarcerated and (2) allowing evidence of prior alleged misconduct involving a minor to be introduced during the sentencing phase of the trial. The Supreme Court (1) remanded with directions for the circuit court to strike the imposed condition and entered a corrected judgment and commitment order, as the condition of Appellant's incarceration requiring sex-offender treatment was illegal; and (2) affirmed on the second point, as Appellant's arguments on this point were not preserved for review.
