State v. Shegrud

¶1 William Shegrud (Shegrud) appeals from the judgment of the Montana Twenty-first Judicial District Court, Ravalli County, sentencing him for his jury conviction of felony criminal endangerment and for two misdemeanor offenses. We reverse and remand.

ISSUE

¶2 We review the following issue:

1. Did the District Court err by declining Shegrud’s proposed jury instruction of negligent endangerment as a lesser included offense of criminal endangerment ?

Because we reverse and remand for a new trial on this issue, we do not reach the other issues Shegrud has raised in his appeal.
