How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that, upon resentencing, re-imposition of the same aggregate sentence by changing sentences on various charges to run consecutively rather than concurrently was within the trial court’s discretion.
holding that, following reversal of two -9- J-S28041-17 of the appellant’s convictions, re-imposition of the same aggregate sentence by changing the sentences on some of the remaining counts to running consecutively rather than concurrently was within the trial court’s discretion
“preserving the integrity of the original sentencing scheme is a legitimate sentencing concern, and sentences may be adjusted so that the aggregate punishment remains the same upon resentencing.”
“That the trial court on remand maintained the total aggregate length of [a]ppellant’s sentence . . . by imposing the remaining sentences consecutively instead of - 13 - J-S16028-19 concurrently does not alter the conclusion that the total aggregate length was not increased.”
