North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Wallette

November 5, 20252025 ND 190

Summary

The court affirmed the amended judgment and held that Wallette's 30-year aggregate sentence was neither cruel and unusual nor contrary to statutory mandatory-minimum requirements. The court concluded that the sentence was justified by the extensive property damage, Wallette's criminal history, and the absence of a statutory prohibition on consecutive felony sentences. It declined to reach his judicial-conduct and equal-protection arguments because they were inadequately raised or supported.
