State v. Briggs

INMAN, Judge.

*96 Following a jury trial and conviction for attempted second degree sexual offense, Antravious Q. Briggs ("Defendant") was sentenced to an active term of 73 to 100 months in prison. Defendant gave oral notice of appeal on the day of his sentencing. A few months later, outside of Defendant's presence, the trial court issued an amended judgment resentencing Defendant to a term of 73 to 148 months in prison. Because the trial court resentenced Defendant outside of his presence, resulting in a lengthier prison term, we vacate and remand for resentencing.
