Description
The issue that the court must resolve in this case is whether a trial court lawfully may impose a sentence to the penitentiary as to one or more counts in an information and then, as to a different count, suspend the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on probation with the probation to commence at the end of the imposed term of imprisonment. We conclude that the sentencing combination invoked by the trial court resulted in an infringement of the right of Grant Samuel Yates (Yates) to a disposition of a criminal charge by sentence within a reasonable time. In this instance, the delay in imposing sentence on the count as to which imposition of sentence was suspended exceeded the bounds of reasonableness, and the court could no longer impose the term of imprisonment that was provided upon revocation of Yates probation. We reverse the sentence imposed upon revocation of Yates probation and order that it be vacated.
