Charles E. Bayne III v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
18A-CR-1290
Criminal. Affirms Charles E. Bayne III’s conviction of Level 2 felony voluntary manslaughter. Finds there is sufficient evidence to support Bayne’s conviction and to negate his claim of self-defense. Finds that even if the Lake Superior Court erroneously believed that Bayne’s firearm enhancement was non-suspendible, the same sentence would be imposed even if it believed that the enhancement was suspendible.
