May 21, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Timothy J. Miller, Indianapolis, IN, Attorney for Appellant.

Jeffrey A. Modisett, Attorney General of Indiana, Janet Brown Mallett, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.


SULLIVAN, Justice.

Defendant Scott Harris was convicted of shooting another man to death at a Hardee's restaurant. He now appeals, arguing that "sudden heat" mitigates his culpability and that he is entitled to a new trial because of newly discovered evidence. Finding that sudden heat was not put into issue at trial and that the Defendant has not satisfied the requirements for obtaining relief on grounds of newly discovered evidence, we affirm.
