Chapman v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder. The district court accepted Appellant’s guilty plea and sentenced him to not less than twenty-five and no more than fifty years incarceration. After unsuccessfully moving to withdraw his guilty plea and filing a petition for post-conviction relief, Appellant filed a Wyo. R. Crim. P. 35(b) motion for sentence reduction, requesting that his sentence be reduced to fifteen to twenty-five years. The district court denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to overcome his burden of proving that the district court abused its discretion in denying his Rule 35(b) motion.
