I agree that retaining both burglary convictions violates double jeopardy. But there was a plea agreement in this case, so the question arises whether the entire plea should be undone. In Ex parte Ervin, we vacated one of the convictions on double-jeopardy grounds when there was a plea agreement, but the State in that case expressed its desire to waive the illegal portion of the plea agreement and enforce the remainder as modified. ⁽¹⁾ We should remand this case to the trial court to determine what remedy the parties desire and to determine whether either party would be prejudiced by a decision to vacate one of the convictions rather than undoing the entire plea. Because the Court simply vacates one of the convictions without obtaining input from the parties, I respectfully dissent.
