THOMAS, Justice,

¶1concurring.

¶2I would not remand the ease to the district court simply to correct the written judgment and sentence to match the transcript of the sentencing hearing. I would remand to the district court to make a determination as to which document was *796incorrect, the transcript or the judgment and sentence. If the court reporter’s notes are not available, then I would agree that the transcript should control.

¶3On many keyboards on computers, however, the one (1) key is located near the two (2) key and, for me, it is conceptually possible that a typographical error occurred in the preparation of the transcript. Certainly, a sentence of twenty to twenty-five years is more consistent with the heft of the tome that the trial judge cast at Clouse than a sentence of ten to twenty-five years would be. Consequently, in my view, the potential of a typographical error should be investigated in the transcript as well as in the judgment and sentence.
