- High Court
Because the District Court's sentencing contained multiple material errors — omitting sentences on some charges, failing to apply the guilty plea discount indicated at sentence indication, and producing inconsistent total sentences — the High Court must quash all sentences and remit the matter to the District Court for resentencing; the errors could not be corrected on appeal.
