State of Minnesota v. Amanda Lee Jensrud

Syllabus

Amanda Lee Jensrud was placed on probation after she pleaded guilty to a drug- related offense. The district court later revoked Jensrud's probation and executed her prison sentence after she admitted to violating multiple conditions of her probation. We conclude that the district court erred when revoking Jensrud's probation by not making adequate findings concerning why the need for confinement outweighs the policies favoring probation. We also conclude that the district court erred in its calculation of Jensrud's criminal-history score. Therefore, we reverse and remand.
