State v. Johnson

by
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and vacated in part the sentence imposed by the district court in connection with Defendant's no contest plea to felony murder, aggravated assault, and criminal possession of a firearm, holding that the sentencing judge lacked jurisdiction to set restitution later and that there were aspects of Defendant's sentence that were ambiguous and illegal.Specifically, the Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's consecutive sentences on his convictions for felony murder and aggravated kidnapping, vacated the portions of the district court's judgment and nunc pro tunc order indicating restitution will be imposed at a later date and imposing post release supervision on Defendant's hard twenty-five life sentence, and affirmed the district court's order that Defendant's criminal possession sentence be served concurrently with his sentences for felony murder, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated assault, holding that the district court erred as regard to certain aspects of Defendant's sentencing.
