State v. Hunnel
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to multiple convictions of felon in possession of a firearm and attempted felon in possession of a firearm. The only evidence offered by Defendant’s attorney during the sentencing hearing was a local newspaper in which the police chief described Defendant as a hunting enthusiast who was not a threat to the community. The district court refused to enter the article into evidence, noting that the statement would “essentially be hearsay.” Defendant appealed from his sentences. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err (1) in refusing to consider the newspaper article; and (2) in failing to grant Defendant credit for 369 days previously served within in federal custody on a federal sentence.
