Description
In this case, we are asked to decide whether a sentencing court may require a prosecutor to present at the sentencing hearing evidence of other crimes with which the defendant has not been charged - Page 1109 pursuant to a plea agreement with the State. In treating with this issue we must deal with a claim that such a proceeding violates the concept of fundamental fairness embodied in the due process clause. There also is an issue relating to the abuse of discretion by the trial court in sentencing. We conclude that the district court did not exceed its powers with respect to the evidence it required at the sentencing hearing, and that there was no violation of the concept of fundamental fairness as claimed. We also can discern no abuse of discretion in the sentencing. We affirm the judgment and sentence.
