Ward v. State
Ward v. State
Opinion of the Court
A simple addition error on appellant's sentencing scoresheet led the state, defendant, and the trial judge to believe that appellant's lowest permissible sentence was 99.45 months instead of 57.45 months. The scoresheet error is not harmless because the record does not conclusively show that the judge would have sentenced the defendant to the same 99.45 month prison term, having stated that he was not *1130inclined to "go against" the scoresheet. See Brooks v. State ,
Gerber, C.J., Gross and Conner, JJ., concur.
