State v. Pitre

OPINION

KESSLER, Judge.

¶ 1 Defendant Dwayne Alvin Pitre appeals from his convictions and sentences for fourteen crimes, arguing the superior court erred in admitting into evidence prior convictions for purposes of impeachment. During the pendency of the appeal, this Court ordered Pitre and the State to file supplemental briefs discussing the propriety of Pitre’s sentences under Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). For the reasons stated below, we affirm Pitre’s convictions but vacate the sentences and remand for resentencing.
