Description
OPINION This case involves review of a court of appeals decision that the addition of a 10-year conditional release term to respondent Jela DeShaun Jones's 15-year sentence for third-degree criminal sexual conduct violated the constitutional rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000). A Le Sueur County jury found Jones guilty of two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree. The district court sentenced Jones to a 15-year sentence using the patterned and predatory sex offender statute, Minn. Stat. §Á609.108, subd. 1 (2002), and then imposed an additional 10-year conditional release term, under subdivision 6 of the same statute. Minn. Stat. §Á609.108, subd. 6 (2002). Concluding that imposition of the conditional release term violated the rule set forth in Apprendi, the court of appeals reversed Jones's sentence and remanded with instructions to reduce the conditional release term. We reverse in part, affirm in part and remand.
