State v. Moore
Annotate this Case
A jury convicted George Moore of felony driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The district court sentenced Moore to thirteen months' incarceration followed by a suspended commitment to the department of corrections for five years. The court also imposed appointed counsel costs of $1,340, prosecution costs of $100, and jury costs of $1,447. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the district court erred by failing to investigate Moore's financial circumstances, including his ability to pay the jury costs, appointed counsel costs, and prosecution costs. Remanded to the district court for a determination as to whether Moore could afford the appointed counsel costs, prosecution costs, and jury costs.
