Description

MATTHEWS, Justice. OPINION. William Thomas Jackson was convicted on a plea of nolo contendere of the crimes of manslaughter and burglary in a dwelling in violation of former AS 11.15.040 and AS 11.20.080, respectively. He then appealed from certain rulings of the superior court pertaining to the merits of his conviction, and brought a sentence appeal as well. We issued an opinion in which we granted him the option to change his plea of nolo contendere to a plea of not guilty and reserved ruling on his sentence appeal. Quick v. State, 599 P.2d 712 (Alaska 1979). Jackson has decided not to change his plea. Before us now is his sentence appeal. Jackson was first sentenced to incarceration for a period of fifteen years on the charge of manslaughter and five years on the charge of burglary in a dwelling, the sentences to run concurrently. Subsequently, the superior court amended the sentence to ten years for the charge of manslaughter and five years on the charge of burglary, concurrently. Jackson contends that his sentence, as amended, is excessive.
