Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court considered whether a sentence for assault and trespass was excessive. The Court ruled that the Defendant was sentenced beyond the statutory maximum. The Court remanded back to lower court for resentencing but urged the court to consider the fact that the defendant is a single parent of a small child, has completed anger management classes, and outpatient treatment for chemical dependency, and is not a habitual offender, when considering its new sentence.
