Description
In this case, defendant, Mark Lowe Luther, served a sentence of incarceration for reckless manslaughter, was released on parole, and then violated his parole by commission of the crime of escape. The trial court imposed a consecutive sentence on the escape charge, to begin after completion of the revoked parole incarceration period. Luther appealed, and the court of appeals reversed the trial court in People v. Luther, 43 P.3d 660 (Colo. App. 2001), holding that the effect of the sentence would be the imposition of consecutive mandatory parole periods, in violation of section 18-1-105(1)(a)(V)(E), 6 C.R.S. (2002). That statute provides that when an offender receives two or more consecutive felony sentences, the governing mandatory parole period shall be the one for the higher class felony.
