State of Minnesota v. Delilah Golden Metoxen

Syllabus

In this appeal from a probation-revocation decision, appellant argues that the district court abused its discretion by revoking appellant's probation because its finding that the need for confinement outweighs the policies favoring probation is not supported by the record and is based on an erroneous view of the law. In the alternative, appellant argues that the district court violated her right to due process by failing to give her the opportunity to address the court before executing her sentence. Finally, appellant argues that the district court abused its discretion by imposing a sentence at the top of the presumptive range instead of a sentence in the middle of the presumptive range. We affirm.
