Bradford Wayne Snedeker, Petitioner: v. the People of the State of Colorado. Respondent:

Summary

The court held that a defendant who has completed the imprisonment portion of an illegal prison-plus-probation sentence may be resentenced to probation because probation remains a lawful sentencing option and the new sentence is probation alone. It also held that the prohibition on combining imprisonment and probation applies to multiple offenses within the same case, not to concurrent sentences imposed in separate cases. The court therefore affirmed the judgment concerning the fraud case and the resentencing in the theft case.
