Description
The central issue presented in this case is whether the trial court, in sentencing a habitual offender, may determine that a mandatory prison term is constitutionally impermissible under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and Article II, Section 13 of the New Mexico Constitution. We hold that in extremely limited circumstances, a trial court may do so. Because the trial court in the present case could properly make such a determination on the facts presented to it, we affirm.
