Hawkins v. State

OPINION

BRADFORD, Judge.

Appellant-Defendant Ronald Hawkins appeals from his convictions of and sentences for two counts of Class C felony Non-Support of a Dependent Child.1 Hawkins contends that he was denied due process when he was tried in absentia and without trial counsel, that his presence at sentencing by video only was erroneous, that the trial court improperly entered *764judgment on both counts as Class C felonies, and that the trial court abused its discretion in imposing consecutive sentences. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
