Hurtado v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence for possession and delivery of methamphetamine, holding that the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Wyo. R. Crim. P. 35(b).
Defendant was charged with five felony offenses related to possession and delivery of a controlled substance and, pursuant to a plea agreement, pled guilty to one count of possession and one count of delivery of methamphetamine. The district court sentenced Defendant to five to seven years on the possession charge and a consecutive sentence of ten to fifteen years on the delivery charge. Defendant later filed her motion for sentence reduction, which the district court denied. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it did not elaborate on its reasons for denying Defendant's motion for sentence reduction and that there was no other error in the proceedings.
