Indiana Supreme Court

Corey R. Faith v. State of Indiana

September 6, 2019

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court granted the State’s petition to transfer, vacated the Court of Appeals’ reduction of Faith’s sentence, and reinstated the trial court’s consecutive 30‑year terms with 30 years suspended (an executed sentence of 60 years), remanding for a revised sentencing order. The Court held that the appellate court misapplied Appellate Rule 7(B) because prior cases involved enhanced, not advisory, sentences, and therefore could not justify a concurrent sentence.
