State v. Conrad
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior. The district court imposed a sentence of twenty-five years to life under Jessica's Law. The court imposed concurrent sentences of varying lengths for the three remaining convictions. Defendant appealed, arguing that his sentence of twenty-five years to life was unconstitutional because it was cruel or unusual punishment and that it was contrary to statute. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and vacated in part the sentence, concluding (1) the sentence was constitutional and was not contrary to statute, as the legislature intended individuals convicted of aggravated indecent liberties with a child be eligible for parole after twenty-five years; but (2) the district court improperly sentenced Defendant to lifetime postrelease supervision instead of parole.
