Denbo v. State

OPINION

BRYNER, Chief Judge.

Clyde A. Denbo was convicted after pleading no contest to a charge of murder in the first degree, an unclassified felony punishable by imprisonment for up to ninety-nine years. AS 11.41.100; AS 12.55.125. In return for Denbo’s plea, the state dropped charges of kidnapping, first-degree robbery, and misconduct involving a controlled substance in the third degree (sale of and possession with intent to sell cocaine). Superior Court Judge Jay Hodges sentenced Denbo to serve seventy-five years in prison. Denbo appeals, contending that the sentence is excessive. We affirm.
