Description
On September 4, 1979, Ross Sheakley was convicted of mayhem, after a jury trial. He had previously entered pleas of guilty to charges of assault with a dangerous weapon (ADW) and joyriding. Because Sheakley had been convicted of burglary in 1974, he was separately indicted for violation of former AS 12.55.050, Alaskas former habitual criminal statute. Sheakley was arraigned on the habitual criminal charge and entered a plea of guilty to it in advance of his trial on the mayhem charge. Thus, upon conviction of the substantive offenses with which he was charged, Sheakley was subject to sentencing as an habitual criminal under former AS 12.55.050. Sheakley now challenges his mayhem conviction on several grounds and also argues that the aggregate sentence he received for all three of his offenses was excessive.
