Description

Patrick Knight was sentenced to eighteen years, indeterminate, upon his plea of guilty to robbery. On appeal, he contends the sentence was unduly harsh and constituted an abuse of the district courts discretion. However, we do not reach the merits of this contention. Instead, we hold that the district court did not properly exercise its sentencing discretion when it failed to specify what portion of the eighteen years would constitute a minimum period of confinement, as required by the Unified Sentencing Act, I.C. Â§ 19-2513. We vacate the sentence and remand this case for further proceedings.
