Description
SILAK, J. Joseph Craig Newman pled guilty to four felony counts related to the possession and distribution of marijuana. The district
court imposed sentences which amounted to a fixed five-year period of confinement. Newman challenges his sentences on two
grounds: (1) during the sentencing hearing the prosecutor made unsworn and unsubstantiated allegations about the extent of
Newman's prior drug dealings; and (2) the district court abused its discretion by imposing an unduly harsh sentence. We find
no error with respect to the prosecutor's unsworn statements during the sentencing hearing. However, because we are unable
to review the district court's sentencing discretion based on the record before us, we vacate the sentences imposed and remand
for resentencing.
