He was acquitted of first-degree trespassing and another count of criminal damage.Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen sentenced Montoya in April 2009 to 26 years in prison for the four criminal charges.
Jill Evans, an appellate attorney, is seeking to modify that sentence, citing prior convictions from California that may be too old or would not be felonies if committed in Arizona."
