Blake H. Walden, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the circuit court lawfully imposed fourteen years’ imprisonment upon revocation because the governing statutes permitted resentencing up to the applicable statutory maximum after crediting prior imprisonment. It held, however, that the two suspended sentences could not run consecutively to each other or consecutively to the imprisonment term for another offense, so it affirmed the imprisonment term and modified the suspended sentences to run concurrently. The court corrected the illegal sentencing components without remanding because the errors concerned only sentencing, not guilt.
