Description

On November 23, 1966 the defendant-appellant, William H. Butler, pleaded guilty to a charge of second degree murder and was sentenced by the court to serve a term not to exceed seventy-five (75) years in the Idaho State Penitentiary. In passing sentence, the court stated "* * * my primary duty being to protect society and the only thing I can do is to take whatever action is in my power to isolate you from society for as long as I can and strange as it may seem under our law a life sentence, while on its face it is the longest you can be isolated, under the rules and provisions as to parole you would be eligible sooner for parole under a life sentence than you would under a sentence for a number of years, I feel obligated in view of the nature of this crime to give you the sentence that I feel would protect society the longest."
