Description
1 Cameron Thomas Lopes appeals from a judgment and conviction for murder, a first degree felony, and enhanced sentences imposed by the district court pursuant to sections 76-3-203(1) and -203.1 of the Utah Code. Lopes asks this court to reverse the group criminal activity enhancement on the basis that section 76-3-203.1 violates both the federal and Utah constitutions. We hold that the application of section 76-3-203.1 in this case did deprive Lopes of certain fundamental constitutional rights. Furthermore, we hold subsection (5)(c) of section 76-3-203.1 violates the Utah Constitution. We, therefore, reverse and remand for a new trial.
