Idaho v. McIntosh
Annotate this CaseMichelle McIntosh appealed her conviction and resulting sentence after she was found guilty of trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, two counts of delivery of methamphetamine, and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. This case arose out of three separate purchases of methamphetamine by an undercover police officer from McIntosh. The jury found McIntosh guilty of all charges, and the court subsequently sentenced McIntosh to a total unified term of ten years, with four years fixed. McIntosh timely appealed. McIntosh made two arguments on appeal: (1) her conviction for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver should have been vacated because the district court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the charge; and (2) the district court abused its discretion when it imposed a unified term of ten years, with four years fixed. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed McIntosh's conviction and sentence.
