Description
- Page 414 Defendant was convicted in District Court, Gallatin County, of kidnapping and sexual intercourse without consent. He was sentenced to ten years in the State Prison on each count, to be served concurrently. The defendant appealed the conviction and while the appeal was pending, he applied to the district judge, Powell County, for bail pending appeal. The motion was granted and defendant was released from prison. The Gallatin County Attorney applied to this Court for a writ of supervisory control, asking - Page 416 this Court to find that the district judge, Powell County, was without jurisdiction to admit defendant to bail. We consolidated the appeal and the application for the writ. We affirm the conviction and deny the States application for the writ, finding the issue of bail pending appeal to be moot by reason of our decision to affirm the conviction.
