Williams v. State

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

A jury found appellant Curtis Williams guilty of various offenses committed while breaking into Carolyn Smoots' apartment and threatening her with a handgun, and of being an habitual offender. Williams raises three issues on appeal: 1) whether the trial court erred by not defining "knowingly" and "intentionally" for the jury; 2) whether Williams' trial counsel was ineffective; and 3) whether Williams' convictions and sentences for intimidation and burglary violate Indiana's prohibition against double jeopardy. We affirm.
