Kenneth E. Deal v. State Alaska

Kenneth Deal was convicted upon his plea of nolo contenders to four counts of burglary not in a dwelling, a violation of former AS 11.20.100. As part of his plea, Deal expressly reserved the right to appeal the superior courts denial of his motion to suppress two money bags, and other evidence flowing therefrom, which had been seized from his vehicle. Deal was subsequently sentenced to a total of ten years, with seven and one-half years suspended. In this appeal, Deal contends that the superior court erred in denying his motion to suppress and that his sentence is excessive.
