North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Roller

September 26, 20242024 ND 180

Summary

The court affirmed Roller’s convictions and sentences. It held the criminal-mischief instruction was legally proper because intentional conduct is included within willful conduct, and the instruction therefore did not constitute obvious error. It also held the habitual-offender determination was part of sentencing, so the rules of evidence did not apply and the sentence was not illegal.
