Squier v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the finding that Squier violated probation but vacated the resulting sentencing order because the Level III probation term for his third-degree assault conviction exceeded the applicable one-year statutory limit. The Court rejected Squier’s claims that the sentence was excessive or motivated by judicial bias because the incarceration imposed was within the remaining Level V balance and the record did not support bias. The matter was remanded for resentencing, at which Squier must be present and represented by counsel.
