The sentence imposed in this case fell within the statutory range of punishment at the time it was issued. See former OCGA § 16-8-12 (a) (1) (A person convicted of theft by deception (OCGA § 16-8-3) shall be punished as for a misdemeanor except "[i]f the property which was the subject of the theft exceeded $500.00 in value, by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than ten years or, in the discretion of the trial judge, as for a misdemeanor"); McCullum v. State, 365 Ga.App. 310, 312 (878 S.E.2d 260) (2022) ("a crime is to be punished according to the provisions of the law existing at the time of its commission") (citation and punctuation omitted). Although McCranie contends that he should have been charged with multiple misdemeanor counts instead of one felony count, he was sentenced on the offense to which he pled guilty, and that sentence was within the statutory range of punishment.
