Carr v. State, Court of Appeals No. A-9419, No. 5144, COURT OF APPEALS OF ALASKA, December 6, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because trial court was silent as to its intentions for suspended portions of defendant's sentences for first degree sexual abuse of his stepdaughter, the suspended portions were deemed concurrent under former Alaska Stat. §§ 12.55.125, 12.55.155; implications of trial court's intent to impose consecutive suspended sentences were not sufficient.

Overview: Defendant's sentence for first degree robbery in violation of Alaska Stat. § 11.41.500(a)(1) was upheld because Blakely was inapplicable when defendant entered a plea agreement in which he admitted to using a knife, which required a presumptive sentence of 7 years under Alaska Stat. § 12.55.125(c)(2)(A).

View this case - free

Rodvik v. Rodvik, Supreme Court No. S-11986, No. 6080, SUPREME COURT OF ALASKA, December 8, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a divorce proceeding, award of custody of children to wife was appropriate because of testimony from guardian ad litem and other witnesses. Among other things, trial court's award of guns that were marital property to wife was appropriate, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g), because of protective orders to which husband was subject.

State v. Moreno, Court of Appeals No. A-9148, No. 2075, COURT OF APPEALS OF ALASKA, December 8, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Although pre-2005 presumptive sentencing law for adjudicating aggravating factors violated Blakely, the entire procedure was not unconstitutional when the flawed procedures could be replaced by jury trials that conformed to Blakely requirements. Thus, superior court's ruling that the presumptive sentencing scheme was unconstitutional was reversed.

View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: After defendant pled guilty to sexual abuse of a minor in violation of Alaska Stat. § 11.41.434(a)(1), a trial court properly rejected defendant's claim of mitigation under Alaska Stat. § 12.55.155(d)(9) when defendant attempted to deflect some blame onto the twelve-year-old victim and did not make any exceptional efforts to assume responsibility.

View this case - free
