Description
WALTERS, C.J. Bobby McFarland was charged in the brutal stabbing death of a Shoshone County man. While claiming to have no recollection
of the incident, McFarland entered an Alford plea[Footnote 1] to charges of second degree murder and robbery. The district
court refused McFarland's repeated requests for a psychological evaluation and imposed a sentence of life in the custody of
the Board of Correction, with a minimum mandatory term of ten years' incarceration. As discussed below, we conclude that the
district court erred in refusing to order a psychological evaluation. Accordingly, we vacate the McFarland's sentence and
remand the case to the district court for resentencing after first obtaining a psychological evaluation.
