Montana Supreme Court
State v. T. Hagberg
June 30, 20262026 MT 135
Summary
The court held that Hagberg did not waive appellate review of the $5,000 fine by agreeing to it in his plea agreement and at sentencing. It affirmed the statutory fine but vacated the portion of the judgment addressing the fine and remanded for the District Court to make appropriate ability-to-pay findings before determining how much of the fine may be suspended.
