State v. Knaak

OPINION

RANDALL, Judge.

Appellant, Thomas Knaak, was found guilty by a jury of Driving After Suspension. He was sentenced to fifteen days to be stayed for six months upon the condition that he pay a $166 fine and have no further violations of the law. On appeal, appellant argues that the trial court’s additional jury instructions precluded the jury from exercising leniency; in effect directed a verdict of guilty against him; and that the trial court imposed a harsh sentence as a penalty for appellant exercising his right to a jury trial. 1 We affirm in part but remand for resentencing.
