Description
Submitted on Briefs July 23, 1997. ¶ 1 Defendant-Respondent James G. Brummer (Brummer) was charged by information with Sexual Intercourse Without Consent, Aggravated Kidnaping, and Assault. A jury trial was held in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, in which Brummer was acquitted of the offenses charged, but found guilty of Kidnaping, a lesser included offense of Aggravated Kidnaping. After the jury's verdict, but before entering judgment, the District Court, on its own initiative, notified the parties of its intent to order a new trial. Although neither party had made a motion for a new trial, the District Court conducted a hearing on the matter, and ordered a new trial sua sponte. The State of Montana (State) appeals that order. We affirm.
