State v. Heredia

Summary

The court vacated the defendant's witness-tampering conviction because, as charged, it was a lesser-included offense of solicitation to falsify physical evidence arising from the same act, violating the State Constitution's double-jeopardy protection. The court also reversed three convictions for accomplice to contributing to the delinquency of a minor because the evidence and jury instructions established only that the minors possessed alcohol, which is a violation rather than the felony or misdemeanor required for delinquency. The case was remanded for resentencing consistent with the opinion.
