Anthony Wilburn v. State of Indiana
20A-CR-1709
Criminal. Affirms and reverses in part the denial of Anthony Wilburn’s motion to exclude evidence and his conviction of Level 2 felony burglary. Finds the Huntington Circuit Court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted a sergeant’s testimony as skilled witness opinion testimony. Also finds sufficient evidence to identify Wilburn as the perpetrator of the robbery. Finally, finds insufficient evidence to sustain Wilburn’s conviction for burglary of a business open to the public during business hours. Remands for the trial court to enter judgment of conviction for Level 3 felony robbery and to resentence Wilburn accordingly.
