Description

JOHNSON, J. Defendant Robin DeRosa appeals the trial court's denial of her motion to correct a sentence imposed by the Bennington
District Court in April 1991. Defendant, a needy person, claims that the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment, suspended,
and probation, after she was denied assistance of counsel, violated her rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to
the United States Constitution, Chapter I, Article 10 of the Vermont Constitution, and the Vermont Public Defender Act, 13
V.S.A. §§ 5201-5277. We reverse and remand. Defendant was arraigned on an information charging her with driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor (DUI), first
offense. 23 V.S.A. § 1201(a)(2). At the time, this offense was punishable by a fine of up to $750, imprisonment
up to one year, or both. 1 23 V.S.A. § 1210(b) (1991). At the arraignment, the trial court found defendant to
be a needy person, but denied her counsel on the ground that the court would not sentence her to a period of imprisonment
or a fine of over $1,000. Subsequently, defendant waived counsel on the record 2 and entered a plea of nolo contendere.
The court accepted her plea and sentenced her to pay a $508 fine and to serve a term of imprisonment of zero to three months,
suspended, and probation until further order of the court.
