A general verdict of guilty on a multiple count indictment is valid where the evidence would sustain a verdict of guilty under each count and the sentence imposed is no greater than could have been imposed on any one of the counts. Mayes v. State, 56 Ala. App. 456, 322 So.2d 746 (1975). The verdict of the jury was proper; however, the case must be remanded to the circuit court for proper sentencing.
The very opposite is true. The two crimes were merged into one, as they should have been, and thereby no real or potential injury was caused defendant in the form of exposure to double jeopardy, more than one punishment for the same offense, or otherwise. Mayes v. State, 56 Ala. App. 456, 322 So.2d 746 (1975); Knight v. State, 50 Ala. App. 457, 280 So.2d 163 (1973). Industrious and resourceful counsel for appellant set forth in their brief fifteen assignments of error, the fifteenth being that the court erred in refusing the requested charge by the defendant that the jury could not convict him of burglary and grand larceny "both in this case."
