Text: The court did not make factual findings to explain the sentences imposed. The court also did not address the nature and circumstances of the crime or Fields' criminal history. Instead, the court stated, albeit mistakenly, that by its calculations, Fields would serve 10 to 20 years' imprisonment. However, as the State points out, because most sentences were below the maximum term and were concurrent, the sentences were equivalent to 10 to 15 years' imprisonment. Under the good time credit statutes, Fields would be eligible for parole in about 4 years from the date of sentencing, with a mandatory release date 2 1/2 years later. See Neb.Rev. Stat. §§ 83-1,107 to 83-1,110 (Supp.2003). The only consecutive sentence imposed was the sentence for the use of a firearm, which sentence is required to be consecutive by law. See § 28-1205(3).
