Description
Defendant appeals from his conviction of possession of marijuana upon a trial to the District Court of Weber County. The complaint was filed January 18, 1969, charging the commission of the offense on the previous day, January 17. The various proceedings in the case, including the Disposition of certain motions prior to trial, culminated over a year later in the defendant being found guilty upon the trial, held on May 26, 1970. On June 22, 1970, he was sentenced to an indeterminate term in the State Prison for not less than five years, the statutory penalty in effect at the time of the commission of the offense. Meanwhile, the 1969 Legislature, in S.L.U. 1969, Ch. 170, § 13, amended Sec. 58-13a-44, U.C.A. 1953, reducing the penalty for that offense to a maximum of six months in the county jail. This statute became effective May 13, 1969, and thus before the trial and judgment.
