Marvin J. Bufkin v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A03-1712-CR-2827
Criminal. Affirms Marvin Bufkin’s conviction of Level 3 felony rape and his 14-year partially-suspended sentence. Finds that a reasonable jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Bufkin knowingly penetrated J.M.’s vagina with his penis, finger, or some other object while she was unaware of such sexual conduct. Also finds that he has not established on appeal that this evidentiary error rose to the level of fundamental error. Finally, finds that the 14-year, partially-suspended sentence imposed by the trial court is not inappropriate.
