A violation of any condition results in the revocation of the suspension of his sentence and actual incarceration at the state prison for a period of ten years. Holt is now over 84 years of age. Mont. S. Ct. Sentence Rev. Div. The purpose is just as applicable to a suspended sentence as it is to a sentence being served through incarceration.
Defendant has no less interest in the length of a sentence just because it has been suspended.
That is especially true where his liberties are substantially curtailed as a condition of and during the entire length of the suspended sentence. For these reasons, I dissent from the majority opinion. I would reverse the Sentence Review Division's order which denied review of Holt's sentence.
