Sharp v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that credit time status may be considered by an appellate court exercising its review and revise authority
• holding that a defendant who molested step-son on multiple occasions over a period of years was in a position of care, and therefore, serious penal consequences were warranted
• holding that “evaluation of a defendant’s sentence may include consideration of the defendant’s credit time status because this penal consequence was within the contemplation of the trial court when it was determining the defendant’s sentence”
• concluding that defendant’s sentence of forty years was not inappropriate despite his status as a credit-restricted felon where he was convicted of two counts of molesting his step-son, one by deviate sexual conduct and the other by fondling
• noting victim’s testimony that defendant molested him “about every other weekend” for the two years preceding October 2008 provided sufficient evidence to infer defendant molested him after June 30, 2008
• credit-time status a penal consequence within contemplation of the sentencing court and thus properly reviewable under App. R. 7(B)
