49A05-1703-CR-400
Criminal. Affirms Matthew Edmonds’ convictions of resisting law enforcement resulting in the death of another person as a Level 3 felony and leaving the scene of an accident as a Level 5 felony.

Finds Edmonds may be convicted of only one count of resisting law enforcement, as that is a conduct-based, rather than result-based, crime. Also finds the state provided sufficient evidence to support Edmonds’ conviction of resisting law enforcement resulting in the death of another person. Remands to the Marion Superior Court for resentencing.
