State of Idaho v. Montrez Lushon Mayberry

Lewiston, Idaho criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with first degree stalking and domestic battery with traumatic injury.

Reported by Kent Morlan

The State alleged Mayberry repeatedly contacted or attempted to contact the
victim, M.F., between March 1, 2023, and June 13, 2023, during which time there was a no-contact order in place, and such contact seriously alarmed, annoyed, or harassed M.F. and caused M.F. substantial emotional distress. The underlying conduct alleged was that Mayberry punched, hit, and bit M.F. Mayberry pleaded not guilty, and the case proceeded to trial.

The jury found Mayberry guilty of stalking and domestic battery with traumatic injury for the conduct alleged on June 13, 2023, and not guilty of domestic battery with traumatic injury for the conduct alleged in March 2023. In the bifurcated portion of the trial, the jury further found Mayberry’s actions that constituted stalking were in violation of a no-contact order. At sentencing, the district court imposed a determinate sentence of ten years for domestic battery with traumatic injury and an indeterminate sentence of five years for stalking. The district court ordered the sentences to run consecutively to each other. Mayberry filed an I.C.R. 35 motion to reduce his sentence; the motion was denied.

Mayberry appealed.
