Indiana Court of Appeals
Joshua Gomillia v. State of Indiana
49A02-1301-CR-77
Criminal. Affirms 45-year sentence with 40 years executed for convictions of Class A felony criminal deviate conduct and Class B felony robbery, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing when it referenced the victim’s strength and support system. The court also held that to the extent that an element of the crime was considered an aggravator, it is no longer improper double enhancement in light of the sentencing scheme adopted after Pedraza v. State, 887 N.E.2d 77, 80 (Ind. 2008).
