Cornell Montgomery v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
18A-CR-2487
Criminal. Affirms Cornell K. Montgomery Jr.’s convictions of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury, both as Level 3 felonies, and his aggregate 12-year sentence. Finds the Allen Superior Court did not violate Montgomery’s constitutional right to an impartial jury by denying his Batson objection. Also finds the evidence is sufficient to support the convictions. Finally, finds Montgomery’s sentence is not inappropriate in light of the nature of the offenses and his character, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering his concurrent sentences to be served consecutive to his sentence in another cause.

Finds the state met its burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that Brockington had violated the terms of his community corrections placement. Also finds the Madison Circuit Court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a sanction for the violations.
