State v. Galloway

Summary

The court upheld the denial of Galloway's motion to depart from the presumptive hard 50 life sentence because the district court properly considered her asserted mitigating factors and reasonably found no substantial and compelling reason for departure. It held that the resentencing court lacked statutory authority to alter the previously imposed concurrent sentences for arson and interference with law enforcement. The court therefore vacated the consecutive-sentence portion and remanded for entry of concurrent sentences, while declining to reach Galloway's constitutional due process claim.
