Cross v. State

Appellant was charged with several felony offenses and two misdemeanor offenses arising from a foiled drug sale. Appellant was found guilty as charged. After Appellant was sentenced, a post-conviction court scheduled the matter for a resentencing hearing. Following resentencing, the trial court sentenced Appellant to an aggregate term of thirty-eight years. The Supreme Court vacated Appellant’s conviction and five-year sentence imposed under the handgun enhancement charge, holding that the trial court erred by entering convictions and sentences for both carrying a handgun without a permit and use of a firearm in controlled substance offense as an enhancement based on possession of the same handgun.
