How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that repeated use of the same weapon to commit multiple separate crimes may support multiple convictions with no double jeopardy violation
  • holding that there was no double jeopardy violation where the defendant’s convictions for criminal confinement, robbery, and criminal deviate conduct were enhanced by use of the same knife
  • holding no common law double jeopardy violation for multiple enhancements based on the presence of a single knife because repeated use of a weapon to commit multiple crimes is not “the very same behavior”
  • finding no double jeopardy violation to enhance the defendant’s convictions for confinement, robbery, and criminal deviate conduct when the same knife was used
  • “The repeated use of a weapon to commit multiple separate crimes is not „the very same behavior‟ precluding its use to separately enhance the resulting convictions.”
  • “The defendant’s use of the same weapon in the commission of sepa-’ rate and distinct offenses thus does not present a violation of the Indiana Double Jeopardy Clause.”
