Description
Melville L. Morris and Charles E. Brown were jointly tried and convicted of various offenses arising from commercial guiding activities involving hunters from Belgium. Morris was convicted of two counts of guiding without a license in violation of AS 08.54.210(a)(3) and one count of unlawfully transferring a harvest ticket in violation of AS 16.05.420(b). Brown was convicted of three counts of guiding without a license, one count of possessing an illegally taken hide in violation of 5 AAC 81.140(b), one count of unlawfully transferring a harvest ticket, and one count of forgery in the third degree in violation of AS 11.46.510. Superior Court Judge Jay Hodges sentenced Morris to serve a total of two years and six months in prison and to pay fines totaling $3,000. Judge Hodges sentenced Brown to serve a total of one year in prison. On appeal, Morris and Brown contend that the trial court erred in denying a motion for mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct. They also challenge the sufficiency of the evidence at trial and argue that the sentences imposed by Judge Hodges are excessive. We affirm all of the convictions except Browns conviction for forgery. We remand for additional sentencing proceedings with respect to both Morris and Brown.
