State v. Rogers
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded no contest to aggravated criminal sodomy, an off-grid crime. The district court sentenced Defendant to a term of life without the possibility of parole for twenty-five years. The court also imposed lifetime postrelease supervision. Defendant challenged both aspects of his sentence, arguing that his prison sentence and postrelease supervision term were disproportionate to his crime and were thus unconstitutional. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and vacated in part Defendant's sentence, holding (1) Defendant failed to show his prison sentence was unconstitutional; and (2) the portion of the sentencing imposing lifetime postrelease supervision upon Defendant was illegal.
