Criminal. Reverses T’arel Justice’s conviction in Marion Superior Court for aggravated battery and remands for a new trial. Additionally, remands with instructions that the sentencing order and abstract of judgment be corrected to indicate that Justice’s conviction for resisting law enforcement was vacated. Finds the trial court misapplied the burden of proof for Justice’s claims of self defense and defense of a third party.
