Snedeker v. People.

2025 CO 10. No. 23SC511. Sentencing.

March 3, 2025

The supreme court held that when a sentence is illegal under Allman v. People, 2019 CO 78, 451 P.3d 826, and a defendant has already served the prison portion of the sentence, the court has the authority to reimpose a probationary term because probation remains a legal sentencing option at resentencing. It next held that it does not violate Allman for a court to sentence a defendant to imprisonment in one case and probation in a separate case. Accordingly, the court affirmed the court of appeals’ judgment and the district court’s resentencing.
