JUSTICE NELSON,
dissenting.
¶26 I dissent. The Court’s analysis of both issues is ultimately grounded in its interpretation of § 45-3-112, MCA, as recently set out in State v. Cooksey, 2012 MT 226, ¶¶ 34-38, 366 Mont. 346, 286 P.3d 1174. I disagree with that interpretation, and thus the Court’s resolution of the instant appeal, for the reasons stated in my Cooksey dissent. See Cooksey, ¶¶ 50-52, 63-104 (Nelson, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
