Sullivan v. State

A jury convicted appellant of four sexual assaults against three victims and sentenced him to 18 years of imprisonment in each case. One of the series of sentences was improperly stacked. A cumulation order in a written judgment may not substantively vary from the cumulation order contained in the trial judge's oral pronouncement of sentence.
