People v. Scott

At a joint plea-taking proceeding, defendants pled guilty to armed robbery, MCL 750.529; MSA 28.797, and felony-firearm, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.424(2). Defendant Baytops was sentenced to 16 to 30 years in prison on the armed robbery charge. Defendant Scott received a 17- to 30-year term for that offense. Each was sentenced to serve the mandatory two-year term for his felony-firearm conviction. The defendants appealed separately and their cases have been consolidated on this Court’s own motion. As the issues raised by each defendant are different, their cases will be discussed separately.
