Description

In a single proceeding based upon three separate indictments, defendant Jeremy Baker pled guilty, without a plea recommendation, to sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, and burglary of a habitation with intent to commit sexual assault. The trial court assessed punishment at confinement for twenty years, forty-five years, and forty- five years, respectively. The trial court ordered that the sentence in the sexual assault conviction run consecutive to that in the aggravated assault conviction, and the sentence in the burglary of a habitation conviction run consecutive to the two assault convictions. In his sole issue on appeal, defendant asserts the trial court erred in cumulating his sentences, and asks that the judgment be reformed so that all sentences run concurrently. The State concedes the trial court erred in stacking the burglary of a habitation sentence onto the two assault sentences, but asserts the case should be remanded for a new sentencing hearing. Because the trial court erred in stacking the sentences, we reform the judgments to delete the cumulation order and affirm as reformed.
