A Tulsa County judge who said he made a mistake in his original sentencing handed a Vinita woman 51 years in prison sentences Monday for four child pornography crimes.
When Tulsa County District Judge Kurt Glassco sentenced Brittiny Linne Dick last week, he imposed four consecutive 17-year prison terms, totaling 68 years.
Dick, 22, pleaded guilty in May to two counts each of manufacturing child pornography and distributing child pornography.
Glassco said that when he originally sentenced her, he mistakenly thought only two of the four crimes had an “85 percent” obligation.
That would have meant 34 of the 68 years in sentences had that requirement.
Glassco subsequently learned that all four of the child pornography counts require an offender to serve at least 85 percent of a prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
On Monday, Glassco sentenced Dick to three consecutive 17-year prison terms, totaling 51 years, which requires her to serve about 43 years in prison under the 85 percent guideline. The fourth 17-year term is to run concurrently with the other sentences.
Glassco agreed to review the case in a year, at which time he could modify the sentence or leave it intact.
