Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Bremer County, Chris Foy, Judge. SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (9 pages)
A juvenile criminal defendant appeals his mandatory-minimum sentence for second-degree sexual abuse. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the district court failed to consider one of the constitutionally required juvenile-sentencing factors, we vacate the sentence and remand with directions to re-sentence and apply the required factors. We also address Chapline’s petition for rehearing and the State’s response, and we decline to require resentencing before a different judge.
