How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that life sentence for forty counts of receiving stolen property was excessive
- finding imprisonment anaggregate sentence of 58 ¥ to 124 years is not excessive
- noting in a subsequent appeal in the same case that “the life sentence is comprised largely of consecutive sentences for receiving stolen costume jewelry . . . non- violent offenses with limited financial impact.”
- sentence of 581/2 to 124 years’ incarceration for 2 burglary convictions and over 30 convictions for receiving stolen property and other non-violent crimes was abuse of discretion
- “we conclude that, based on the record before us, the trial court abused its discretion in imposing a life sentence for non-violent offenses with limited financial impact”
- Dodge was sentenced to an aggregate term of 58 ½ to 124 years' imprisonment after he was convicted of numerous, largely property offenses and we viewed his challenge to the sentencing court's exercise of discretion as raising a substantial question
