Pageau v. State

I respectfully dissent from the majority’s conclusions that: (1) the district court’s pronouncement of Pageau’s sentence is ambiguous; and (2) a district court’s pronouncement of consecutive stayed sentences does not automatically result in stacked probationary periods; to impose stacked probationary periods when pronouncing consecutive stayed sentences, a district court must specify that the probationary periods are to be stacked; and, in the absence of such a statement, the attendant probationary periods run simultaneously.

The majority concludes that Pageau’s sentence is ambiguous in part…
