Heading: Class B Robbery Sentence

Text: Kingery next challenges his sentence for Class B robbery, arguing that because Class B robbery is not a lesser included offense of Class A robbery, and because the jury was never instructed on Class B robbery, his Class B sentence must be vacated. There are three felony classes of robbery: A person who knowingly or intentionally takes property from another person or from the presence of another person: (1) by using or threatening the use of force on any person; or (2) by putting any person in fear; commits robbery, a Class C felony. However, the offense is a Class B felony if it is committed while armed with a deadly weapon or results in bodily injury to any person other than a defendant, and a Class A felony if it results in serious bodily injury to any person other than the defendant.
