State v. Letherman
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed Defendant's felony sentence imposed in connection with his conviction for felony driving under the influence (DUI) per se, holding that the presentence investigation report (PSI) in this case did not constitute competent proof if its accuracy is challenged.
The district court found Defendant guilty of DUI per se and filed a PSI. The district court relied on the PSI and ordered a felony sentence of five years' incarceration with three years suspended. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case for resentencing, holding that Defendant's sentence was unlawful because the district court erred by taking the disputed PSI, without further of Defendant's prior convictions, as competent proof of Defendant's prior convictions.
