Matthew Edmonds v. State of Indiana
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.

Remands to the Marion Superior Court for resentencing.
