Oscar Sanchez Hernandez v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
21A-CR-19
Criminal. Affirms Oscar Sanchez Hernandez’s convictions for child molesting as Level 1 felonies and his sentence of concurrent terms of 35 years with five years suspended to probation. Finds the state presented evidence of a probative nature from which the trier of fact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Hernandez committed two counts of child molesting as Level 1 felonies. Also finds Hernandez has not sustained his burden of establishing that his concurrent sentences are inappropriate in light of the nature of the offenses and his character.
