From: The District Court of the Seventeenth Judicial District. County of Valley.
    STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff, vs. LARRY JAMES BEAUCHAMP, Defendant.
    NO. 1628
    DATED this 9th day of July, 1970.
   DECISION

The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of Three years with 26 days jail time credit for Assault in the Second imposed on March 4, 1970, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that:

No change will be made in the sentence heretofore imposed.

This plea of guilty was entered on a reduced charge of Assault in the Second Degree the original charge being attempted Murder. The facts of the crime were that the defendant shot the victim with a .22 calibre rifle. Under the circumstances the sentence of three years seems sufficiently lenient.
