Nebraska Supreme Court

State v. Gleaton

March 8, 2024316 Neb. 114

Summary

The court affirmed Gleaton’s convictions and sentences, except that it modified the sentencing credit because credit for time served cannot be applied to a life sentence. It held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting expert testimony based on cell phone round-trip-time data, overruling objections to the prosecutor’s closing arguments, declining to strike victim-impact material from the presentence report, or permitting the sentencing judge’s questions. The court also concluded that the sentencing-credit error was plain error and ordered the credit applied to the consecutive nonlife sentences.
