State v. Edelman
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction the judgment of the circuit court denying Appellant's motion to modify his sentence, holding that this Court did not have appellate jurisdiction over Appellant's appeal.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, Appellant pled guilty to a felony charge of intentional damage to property in exchange for the State's recommendation for a one-year suspended sentence to run concurrent with the sentence Appellant was already serving. The circuit court sentenced Appellant to six years in prison with one year suspended to run consecutive to the prior sentence. Appellant later filed a motion to modify his sentence based on his deteriorating health. The circuit court denied the request. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal, holding that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
