Stalcup v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated vehicular homicide while driving under the influence of alcohol and two related DUI misdemeanors. On appeal, Defendant alleged, among other things, that her sentence was illegal because the district court entered separate convictions and sentences on the DUI counts, which were the same criminal act and charged in the alternative. The Supreme Court (1) reversed Defendant's conviction for aggravated vehicular homicide and remanded for a new trial because the district court erred in not allowing Defendant's expert witness to testify concerning her theory of defense to that charge; and (2) reversed the DUI convictions and remanded for entry of a new judgment and sentence convicting Defendant of one violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. 31-5-233 and imposing one sentence because the district court erred when it imposed sentences on both DUI counts under section 31-5-233(b).
