P. v. Peterson
Jeremy Peterson appeals from the judgment entered after a jury convicted him of gross vehicular manslaughter and causing a death while evading a pursuing police officer. We agree, as does the Attorney General, with his contention that his sentence for evading a police officer should have been stayed because it arose from the same course of conduct as his manslaughter conviction. At Petersons request, we have reviewed the record from his motion to discover complaints from the employee records of some of the police officers involved in his arrest, and conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying discovery of certain complaints against the officers. Court therefore modify the judgment to stay the sentence on the evading a police officer count, and affirm the judgment as modified.
