Heading: conviction of conspiracy to manufacture, manufacture, and possession with intent to deliver

Text: Gooden argues that he could not be convicted of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana and the actual manufacturing of marijuana in light of Ark.Code Ann. § 5-1-110 (1987), formerly Ark.Stat.Ann. § 41-105 (Repl.1977), which in part provides: (a) When the same conduct of a defendant may establish the commission of more than one offense, the defendant may be prosecuted for each such offense. He may not, however, be convicted of more than one offense if: (2) one offense consists only of a conspiracy, solicitation, or attempt to commit the other.... Citing section 5-1-110(a)(1), Gooden also argues that he could not be convicted of manufacturing marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver as the same conduct establishes the commission of both offenses and, when one offense is included in the other, conviction may not be had for both. Because the facts as to the various charges may develop differently at the next trial, we do not reach these arguments at this time. Reversed and remanded. HICKMAN, HAYS and GLAZE, JJ., dissent.
