Text: Defendant, Gerald Arthur Whitney, appeals his convictions for one count of kidnapping, a Class 2 felony, A.R.S. § 13-1304 and one count of aggravated assault, a Class 3 felony, A.R.S. § 13-1204(A)(2), (B). Because the aggravated assault was found to be a dangerous nature offense and committed while defendant was on parole, the trial court sentenced defendant to life imprisonment. A.R.S. § 13-604.02(A). He was also sentenced to 15.75 years imprisonment for the kidnapping conviction. A.R.S. § 13-604.02(B). The two terms were ordered to run concurrently with one another, but consecutively to the sentence imposed in another case in Maricopa County Cause No. CR-137394. A.R.S. § 13-604.02. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. §§ 13-4031 and -4033.
