State v. J. Westfall

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court held that Westfall waived his claim challenging the denial of a fitness evaluation by pleading guilty, found that his convictions for attempted sexual assault and aggravated assault do not violate the state’s double jeopardy prohibition, and remanded for the district court to conduct an ability‑to‑pay inquiry before imposing trial costs. The decisions were based on established waiver doctrine, the Blockburger test, and statutory requirements for cost assessments.
