State v. Sandoval
Annotate this Case
In this appeal stemming from three separate criminal cases related to repeated violations of an injunction against harassment the Supreme Court vacated the circuit court's orders of resentencing and revocation of probation in two cases and vacated the circuit court's order sentencing Defendant in another case, holding that the circuit court erred.
Defendant pled no contest in two cases to eleven counts of violating an injunction against harassment and was sentenced to probation. Two years later, Defendant was convicted of one count each of violating an injunction against harassment and of second-degree assault. At sentencing, the circuit court revoked Defendant's probation in the prior two cases based on Defendant had violated the terms of his probation. The court then sentenced Defendant to a total of seventeen years imprisonment. The Supreme Court vacated Defendant's sentence, holding that the record did not reflect that Defendant understood the consequences of stipulating to the State's motions to revoke probation and that the circuit court did not sufficiently justify the imposition of consecutive sentences for each count.
