State v. Frecks
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to two counts of off-grid aggravated indecent liberties with a child pursuant to a plea agreement in which the State agreed to dismiss a third count and stand silent at sentencing. Defendant asked that the Jessica's Law life sentences with twenty-five-year mandatory minimums run concurrently, but the district court judge imposed two consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole for fifty years. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the Court had jurisdiction to consider whether the district court abused its discretion in running these off-grid life sentences consecutively; and (2) under the facts of this case, it was not an abuse of discretion to impose the life sentences consecutively.
