Indiana Supreme Court

Kevin Michael Barber, Appellant-Defendant v. State of Indiana, Appellee-Plaintiff.

May 29, 2019122 N.E.3d 809

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer and affirmed the denial of Barber's motion to modify his sentence, but on a different ground from the Court of Appeals. Because Barber was convicted of child molesting, he was a violent criminal subject to the statutory deadline requiring prosecutorial consent for a sentence-modification petition filed more than 365 days after sentencing, and he lacked that consent.
