• acknowledging that, although the same prior conviction can be used to enhance one sentence under a progressive penalty statute and to enhance a different sentence under an habitual offender statute, a problem arises if the two sentences are run consecutively
• “The line of Indiana cases involving the issue of double enhancement reflects an ongoing examination as to when courts may impose more severe sentences on defendants who have proven to be repeat offenders.”
• “In a case where separate counts are enhanced based on the same prior felony conviction, ordering the sentences to run consecutively has the same effect as if the enhancements both applied to the same count.”
