Timothy Samples v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
10A01-1702-CR-425
Criminal. Affirms Timothy P.D. Samples’ convictions for two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, one as a Class B felony and one as a Level 4 felony. Finds the state did not commit prosecutorial misconduct rising to the level of fundamental error. Also finds neither S.M. nor T.M. was a sole witness, there was nothing inherently improbable or incredibly dubious about their testimony and their testimony was not uncorroborated. Finally, finds Samples’ argument that he is entitled to credit time for 703 days served on community corrections is waived.
