Description
These consolidated appeals, filed by the People on a question of law, raise the issue of whether a district court may sentence an adult offender twenty-one years of age or older to the department of corrections for a misdemeanor conviction when the misdemeanor sentence is made expressly consecutive to a previously imposed sentence for a felony conviction.*fn1 We conclude that Colorado's sentencing scheme does not authorize a court to sentence such an adult offender to the department of corrections of a misdemeanor conviction unless the defendant has already been sentenced to the department for a felony and the misdemeanor sentence is made expressly concurrent with the felony sentence. We accordingly reverse the sentences and remand for further proceedings.
