People v. Eckley

Opinion

WISEMAN, Acting P. J.

Defendant Jeanette Eckley was convicted of one count of felony child abuse and one count of misdemeanor child abuse. The court denied probation and sentenced her to the middle term of four years’ imprisonment on the felony charge and a concurrent six-month term on the misdemeanor charge. We conclude that the court’s reliance on sentencing documents (a probation report, two psychological reports, and a letter from a prison administrator) containing material factual misstatements necessitates a remand for a new probation and sentencing hearing.
