View this case - free  

Overview: It was fundamental error for the trial court not to instruct the jury that a conviction for attempted murder under Ind. Code §§ 35-42-1-1(1) and 35-41-5-1(a) required proof of specific intent to kill at the time the defendant took a substantial step toward committing murder. Intent was not merely an issue at trial, but the crux of the case.

Overview: Conviction for misdemeanor battery was reversed because security guard did not have authority under Ind.

Overview: Officer's opinion in a traffic infraction case as to whether defendant's vehicle complied with DOT regulations was inadmissible because, under Ind. R. Evid. 704(b), it was inappropriate for a court to entertain evidence as to a witness's interpretation of the law. Defendant waived the issue of whether regulations should have been admitted.

Overview: Because there was no indication from the record that a prisoner ever sought, let alone exhausted, his administrative remedies from the proper authority in pursuing his claim for credit time, the post-conviction court was without subject matter jurisdiction to rule upon his petition. Accordingly, the judgment denying his petition was set aside.
