Lewis v. State

OPINION

ROBB, Judge.

Russell Lewis was convicted following a jury trial of confinement, a Class B felony, and battery, a Class C felony. He was sentenced to a total of twenty years. He now appeals his convictions and sentence. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.

Issues

Lewis raises two issues for our review, which we restate as follows:

1. Whether the trial court properly instructed the jury regarding the elements of confinement; and

2. Whether the trial court properly sentenced Lewis.
