9 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. MH v. State · Gwarjanski v. State“"[W]e must determine whether an individual may be convicted of two counts contained in the same statute. As our Supreme Court stated in Sisson , [ supra ], ... '[T]he two subsections of a similar statute were merely alternative methods of proving the same crime, and therefore, did not constitute separate offenses.' ... ".... "...[W]e find that the [defendant] could not be convicted of ... two counts of the same statute. 'The Double Jeopardy Clause ... protects against multiple punishments for the same offense. [citation omitted]. Where consecutive sentences are imposed at a single criminal trial, the role of the constitutional guarantee is limited to assuring that the court does not exceed its legislative authorization by imposing multiple punishments for the same offense.' Brown v. Ohio , 432 U.S. 161 , 165, 97 S.Ct. 2221 , 2225, 53 L.Ed. 2d 187 (1977)."”
