District Attorney Dan Itzen leaves the Townsend Justice Center on the afternoon of 5/5/23 (Gregory Hirst, Oil City News)

CASPER, Wyo. — The following are selected arraignments, judgments and sentences rendered recently in the Seventh Judicial District of Wyoming in Natrona County.  

This is not a comprehensive log and may be updated with filings provided by the Clerk of District Court. Filings from the clerk do not include sentence recommendations or other details included from hearings attended by Oil City News.

The court is not bound at sentencing by negotiated dispositions and plea agreements between the state and defense counsel. “Binding” plea agreements mean the defendant may withdraw a guilty plea if the court opts for stronger sentence than recommended. “Non-binding” plea agreements mean the defendant cannot withdraw their plea.

Many agreements come with a cold plea provision, meaning if the defendant violates any bond condition, the state is free to argue for any sentence applicable under statute.
