How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • failure to make contemporaneous objection to scoresheet error does not bar appeal where error is clear on record
  • no objection necessary where \the alleged error does appear in the record and ... did in fact result in a departure from the presumptive guidelines sentence\
  • improper addition of points to scoresheet for prior life felony conviction was apparent from the record because defendant's prior conviction was for second-degree murder, a crime not classified as a life felony
