Nebraska Supreme Court

State of Nebraska, Appellee v. Ryan W. Blaha, Appellant.

June 21, 2019929 N.W.2d 494

Summary

The court affirmed Blaha's convictions and consecutive sentences, holding that the sentencing court did not abuse its discretion by imposing sentences within statutory limits, considering the relevant factors through the presentence investigation report, and considering conduct underlying dismissed charges. On direct appeal, the court rejected three ineffective-assistance claims as refuted by the record, nonprejudicial, or insufficiently alleged, but found the claim concerning review of the presentence investigation report incapable of resolution on the existing record.
