Hornecker v. State

Wyoming Supreme Court

Decided May 24, 1999No. 98-105PublishedCited by 20 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TAYLOR, Justice, Retired.

After pleading guilty to one count of taking indecent liberties with a minor, appellant was sentenced to six to ten years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary. Appellant now contends that ineffective assistance of counsel renders his plea of guilt involuntary. He also contends the district court improperly used a Psychosexual Offender Evaluation in reaching the sentencing decision. Finding no evidence to support his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, and no plain error in the district court’s consideration of the psycho-sexual evaluation, we affirm.
