SELBY, Justice.
In its petition for rehearing, the State asks that this Court reinstate the three convictions that we dismissed in defendant Keith Davenport's direct appeal. Davenport v. State, 689 N.E.2d 1226 (Ind.1997). We grant this petition for rehearing for the purpose of correcting the state of the record. In the direct appeal, we described the events surrounding the dismissed convictions as follows:
"On July 14, 1994 in Marion Superior Court, Criminal Division 5, the State charged defendant with one count of murder. On February 2, 1995, four days prior to trial, the State filed a motion to amend the charging information by adding the charges of felony murder, attempted robbery, and auto theft. The court denied the motion. On February 6, 1995, the State dismissed the murder charge and refiled it, along with the three new charges. The State then transferred the case to Marion Superior Court, Criminal Division 1. In the new court, defendant filed a motion to dismiss the added charges. The trial court conducted a hearing and denied the motion." Davenport, 689 N.E.2d at 1229.
As the State points out in its petition for rehearing, the series of events occurred slightly differently. The State originally charged defendant with one count of murder in Criminal Division 1. On February 2, 1995, four days prior to trial, the State moved to amend the information by adding the three other charges. The motion was denied. On February 6, 1995, the State dismissed the information. That same day, the State refiled the murder charge, along with the three additional charges, in Criminal Division 5. Also that same day, the State moved to transfer the case back to Criminal Division 1. The transfer was granted. Defendant moved to dismiss the three additional counts in Criminal Division 1. After a hearing, the motion was denied.
This slight change in events does not alter our decision regarding the State's actions. As we stated in our original opinion, what the State managed to do here in dismissing and refiling was "significantly different from what has been permitted in the past."...
