Shelly M. Phipps, Appellant (defendant) v. State of Indiana, Appellee (plaintiff).

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court affirmed Phipps's conviction for felony invasion of privacy and her two-and-one-half-year sentence. It held that circumstantial evidence, including the content of Phipps's email and the reasonable inferences from her testimony, supported the jury's finding that she knowingly or intentionally communicated indirectly with the person protected by the order. The Court also held that the trial court properly considered the prolonged and repeated nature of Phipps's conduct as an aggravating circumstance and declined to revise the sentence as inappropriate. No separate opinions were filed.
