1Opinion of the Court
Najam, Judge.
[1] Carlos Robles Baca appeals his conviction for child molesting, as a Class C felony, following a jury trial. Baca presents a single issue for our review, namely, whether the trial court erred when, after it had entered a directed verdict for Baca on two counts, the court then permitted the State to amend one of those counts. Baca maintains that his subsequent conviction on the amended count violates the protections against double jeopardy under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 14 of the Indiana Constitution.
[2] We reverse.
