Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Davis County, Shawn Showers, Judge. SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, J. (7 pages)
Paul Fleetwood appeals his sentence for first-degree harassment, contending the district court considered an impermissible aggravating factor when imposing a two-year prison term. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court relied on information from the minutes of testimony that was neither admitted nor proved, the sentencing hearing was tainted. We remand for resentencing before a different judge.
