Arlen Castle v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The court held that the maximum aggregate consecutive sentence for a defendant whose highest conviction is a Class A or Class B felony is governed by the seventy-year cap in KRS 532.110(1)(c), because life imprisonment is the longest extended term authorized by KRS 532.080(6)(a). Castle’s consecutive sentences, capped at sixty years, therefore complied with the statutes, and the judgment was affirmed.
