Heading: Habitual Offender Instructions

Text: Butler next contends that the trial court's instructions to the jury during the habitual offender phase violated Article I, § 19 of the Indiana Constitution for the reasons explained in this Court's recent opinions in Parker v. State, 698 N.E.2d 737 (Ind.1998), and Seay v. State, 698 N.E.2d 732 (Ind.1998). Butler did not object to the habitual offender instructions at trial and any claim of error is waived. See, e.g., Bunch v. State, 697 N.E.2d 1255, 1257 (Ind.1998) (citing Ind.Crim. Rule 8(B)). [6]
