Edward Koziski v. State of Indiana
20A-CR-1889
Criminal. Affirms and reverses in part Edward Koziski’s convictions of two counts of Level 1 felony child molesting and one count each of Level 5 felony criminal confinement and Level 5 felony kidnapping. Finds the test in Wadle v. State, 151 N.E.3d 227 (Ind. 2020) applies. Also finds that under Wadle, Koziski’s Level 1 felony convictions do not violate double jeopardy. Finally, finds Koziski’s Level 5 felony convictions do violate double jeopardy under Wadle, because confinement is an included offense of kidnapping. Remands with instructions to vacate Koziski’s conviction and sentence for Level 5 felony criminal confinement.
