Description
BRYNER, Chief Judge. John B. Monroe pled no contest to a charge of second-degree murder, in violation of AS 11.41.110(a)(1). Following a sentencing
hearing, Superior Court Judge Richard D. Savell found Monroe guilty but mentally ill (GBMI) and sentenced him to serve sixty
years in prison. Monroe appeals, arguing that: (1) the superior court violated his privilege against self-incrimination at
the GBMI hearing by allowing the state to present testimony from a psychologist who had examined Monroe for the purpose of
determining his competency to stand trial; (2) the court violated Monroe's right to have his plea of no contest accepted unconditionally
by adjudicating him GBMI; (3) the state presented insufficient evidence to support a finding of GBMI; and (4) the mandatory
restriction on parole set forth in the GBMI statute violates Monroe's right to equal protection. Monroe further raises a number
of sentencing issues. We affirm.
