Criminal Law: Sentencing-Sentencing Package Doctrine

Where a defendant who pled guilty in a murder and robbery case argued that his sentence was substantively unreasonable, the conviction and sentence are vacated because it was appropriate to apply the sentence package doctrine, and the remaining two counts are remanded for resentencing.

Vacated; remanded.
