Nebraska Supreme Court

State v. Jones

April 24, 2025318 Neb. 840

Summary

The court affirmed the sentences imposed on Keloni Jones for manslaughter and possession of a deadly weapon. It held that the district court could correct the manslaughter sentence before entering a written judgment because the originally pronounced minimum term was invalid, and that the correction did not rely on the doctrine governing inadvertent mispronouncements. The court also held that the imprisonment terms were within statutory limits and were not an abuse of sentencing discretion.
