01-2946-CR State v. Russell

Listen to this article

Vanessa Russell appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after she pled guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance-cocaine (five grams or less), with intent to deliver, and from an order denying her postconviction motion seeking sentence modification. Russell essentially raises three issues of trial court error: (1) whether the trial court properly considered all the factors relevant to sentencing; (2) whether the imposed conditions of probation violated her constitutional rights; and (3) whether the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion in denying her motion for postconviction relief.

Because the trial court did not erroneously exercise its sentencing discretion, did not violate Russell’s constitutional rights to equal protection, privacy or free association, and did not erroneously exercise its discretion in denying her motion for sentence modification, we affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
