State v. Wolfe

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s dismissal of the aggravated murder charge and remanded for further proceedings. It held that SB 1013 does not prohibit charging the defendant with aggravated murder, that the statute’s amendment to the crime’s elements is not an unconstitutional ex post facto change, and that the proper remedy for any ex post facto violation is sentencing under the law in effect at the time of the offense.
