State v. Palmer
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged with two criminal counts. Defendant consented to a deferred disposition in the district court and pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child. Following a hearing on the final disposition, the district court stated that the deferred disposition was “unsuccessful” and imposed a sentencing alternative. Defendant appealed, arguing that the court erred by finding that she inexcusably failed to comply with a term of her agreement based on the State’s argument that Defendant did not complete a psychological evaluation that focused on parenting. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment, holding that the court erred in finding that Defendant inexcusably failed to comply with the psychological evaluation requirement of the deferred disposition. Remanded.
