Sutton v. State

OPINION

KIRSCH, Judge.

Appellant-Defendant, Dennis Sutton, was convicted by a jury of battery resulting in serious bodily injury,1 a Class C felony, and criminal recklessness,2 a Class B misdemean- or. Sutton appeals his battery conviction, presenting the following issues for our review:

I. Whether the evidence is sufficient to establish “serious bodily injury” within the meaning of IC 35-42-2-1(a)(3).

II. Whether the trial court erred in ordering Sutton to pay a domestic violence fee.

We affirm in part and reverse in part.
