1. “Thus, 'it is impossible for this Court to determine whether resentencing [Sanders] will affect the voluntariness of his plea.' Austin [v. State] , 864 So.2d [1115] at 1119 [ (Ala. Crim. App. 2003) ]. If [Sanders is due to be resentenced and] the split sentence was a term of [Sanders's] 'plea bargain,' and, if he moves to withdraw his guilty plea, the circuit court should conduct a hearing to determine whether withdrawal of the plea is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. See Rule 14.4(e), Ala. R. Crim. P.”

2. “[T]he record is unclear whether Hicks's sentences were the result of a plea agreement. Thus, this Court is unable to determine whether resentencing Hicks will affect the voluntariness of his pleas. If the split sentences were the result of any plea agreements and, if Hicks moves to withdraw his guilty pleas, the circuit court should conduct a hearing to determine whether withdrawal of the pleas is necessary to correct a manifest injustice.”

3. “Because the circuit court did not have the authority to sentence Hicks to the split sentences or to impose terms of probation, the circuit court did not have authority to revoke Hicks's probation; thus, its order revoking Hicks's probation is void.”
