Patrick Austin v. State of Indiana

OPINION

MAY, Judge.

Patrick Austin appeals his conviction of and sentence for two counts of possession of cocaine as Class A felonies. 1 Austin argues: the trial court erred by denying his motion for discharge under Criminal Rule 4; the trial court abused its discretion by admitting contested evidence; the trial court abused its discretion by rejecting his tendered jury instruction regarding constructive possession; and the sentence assigned by the trial court was both an abuse of discretion and inappropriate based on Austin’s character and offenses. We affirm.
