Marcos Leon v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
21A-CR-107
Criminal. Affirms the sentencing order entered after Marcos Leon pleaded guilty to Level 6 felony attempted voyeurism. Finds the Vanderburgh Circuit Court’s reasoning for declining to enter Leon’s conviction as a Class A misdemeanor was based on the circumstances of the crime, not because the state objected, so Leon failed to show there is a need for a remand. Also finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying Leon’s request to enter his conviction as a misdemeanor.
