  • United State Supreme Court explicitly declined to overrule Almendarez-Torres and specifically exempted recidivism from the Apprendi holding
  • issues were whether the State could prove the defendant’s alleged persistent driving while intoxicated offender status after submission of the case to the jury and whether the State’s appeal was barred by the double jeopardy clause
