Smith finds the sentencing court improperly sentenced defendant to 15 years in prison for leaving the scene of a crash involving death without rendering aid when he crossed a double yellow line while passing another vehicle and struck a seven-year-old child, who later died. The sentencing judge referenced uncharged conduct related to a shooting on the morning of the crash and the state failed to prove that the trial court did not rely upon that. Reversed and remanded.
