Sentencing – modification — new factors

Clarence Albert Saffold appeals from a judgment of conviction for armed robbery with use of force and armed robbery with threat of force, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 943.32(2) (2009-10). He also appeals from an order that partially denied his postconviction motion to modify his sentence. Saffold argues that the legislative repeal of positive adjustment time, which previously allowed inmates convicted of certain offenses to earn potential reductions in their terms of initial confinement for defined positive behavior, is a new factor justifying sentence modification in his case. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
