How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that “‘merger of convictions’ does not exist”; when two counts should result in a single conviction, the court should merge guilty verdicts, not convictions, and a single conviction should be imposed on the merged counts
• reversing sentence where state conceded that consecutive sentence imposed on burglary conviction was subject to 200-percent rule and subject to plain-error review
• reviewing as plain error the trial court’s improper failure to merge into a single conviction guilty verdicts on multiple burglary charges
• finding error where the trial court entered two convictions for first-degree burglary and merged them for “sentencing purposes” instead of entering only one conviction
• reviewing as plain error the trial court’s improper failure to merge into a single conviction guilty verdicts on multiple burglary charges
