Montana Supreme Court

State v. S. Pajnich

May 13, 2025422 Mont. 12

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s revocation and sentencing of Susan Joanne Pajnich, holding that a defendant cannot challenge the elapsed‑time credit set in a plea agreement on appeal when the defendant neither objected at the time nor raised a mistake of fact. The Court reasoned that the statutory provisions and the parties’ agreement govern the credit, and no illegal or excessive sentence was imposed.
