State v. Jones

OPINION

MATHIAS, Judge.

David Jones ("Jones") was granted post-conviction relief in Madison Superior Court. The State appeals, presenting the following dispositive issues for review:

I. Whether a jury instruction created a mandatory presumption entitling Jones to post-conviction relief; and

II. Whether Jones' sentencing enhancements are subject to the double enhancement prohibition of Ross v. State.

Concluding the jury instruction at issue does not entitle Jones to post-conviction relief and Jones' sentencing enhancements are not subject to Ross, we reverse and remand.
