Konopasek v. State

OPINION

MAY, Judge.

Joshua Konopasek was convicted after a bench trial of battery causing serious bodily injury, a Class C felony. 1 He argues on appeal the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction or to disprove self-defense, and the trial court should not have admitted testimony about his suspended sentence for a prior offense. While evidence about Konopasek's eriminal record should not have been admitted, any error was harmless, and the State's evidence was sufficient to prove battery and disprove Konopasek's claim of self-defense. Therefore, we affirm.
