Jones v. State

Summary

The Court remanded Jones’s appeal for the Superior Court to determine whether his original sentence for organized retail theft complied with the applicable statutory maximum and the plea agreement. The record suggested that Jones may have pleaded guilty to a Class G felony, for which the seven-year sentence imposed exceeded the statutory maximum, and that the VOP sentence was based on an incorrect amount of remaining back-up time. The Superior Court must resolve those issues and resentence Jones on the VOP, with counsel appointed for the additional proceedings.
