Van W. Travelstead v. State Alaska

Van Travelstead was convicted, based upon his plea of nolo contendere, of attempted murder in the first degree, AS 11.41 .100 and AS 11.31.100. Travelstead appeals, arguing that the charges against him should be dismissed because he was allegedly deprived of his right to a speedy sentencing, that the trial court erred in not letting him withdraw his nolo contendere plea, and that his sentence is excessive. We affirm.
