Description

Gary Cates was found guilty by a jury of aggravated battery, I.C. Â§ 18-907, and of using a firearm in the commission of the battery, I.C. Â§ 19-2520. He received an indeterminate six-year sentence for the battery, enhanced by an indeterminate three-year term on the firearm charge. On appeal, Cates raises the following issues. He contends the evidence was insufficient to support the jurys verdict finding him guilty of aggravated battery and guilty of using a firearm in the commission of the battery. Next, he asserts that he was deprived of a fair trial when the prosecutor -- without advance disclosure to the defense -- made use of a presentence report prepared in another case against a companion defendant. Finally, Cates argues that the district courts sentencing discretion was abused by imposing an unreasonable sentence. We affirm.
