View this case - free  

Overview: Amendment to Ind. Code Ann. § 35-38-1-7.1 made consideration of aggravating and mitigating factors discretionary rather than mandatory. As its application to crimes defendant committed before its effective date would violate Ex Post Facto Clause, the sentencing court erred in not giving significant mitigating weight to defendant's guilty pleas.

Overview: Taxpayer filed class action suit against Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for wrongful collection of excess excise taxes. As taxpayer sought refund under Ind. Code § 6-6-5-7.7, which was inapplicable, instead of Ind. Code § 6-8.1-9-1, he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction.

Overview: At the time defendant committed domestic battery in Indiana, Ind. Code § 35-42-2-1.3(a) allowed for a enhancement from a class A misdemeanor to a class D felony based only on a prior conviction of that same statute. Therefore, his prior domestic battery conviction in Illinois was improperly used to enhance the Indiana offense.

Overview: Under Ind. R. Evid. 401, testimony that defendant possessed handgun when arrested and admitted recently firing it was irrelevant to drug possession and resisting law enforcement charges he faced. Pursuant to Ind. R. Evid. 404(a) and (b), its admission was highly prejudicial and violated his substantial rights; thus, he was entitled to new trial.

Overview: While there was sufficient evidence to conclude defendant broke into car wash, defendant's conviction for burglary under Ind. Code § 35-43-2-1 was reversed as there was not sufficient evidence to infer defendant had specific intent to commit theft; time and method by which defendant entered car wash suggested nothing more than defendant broke in.

Overview: Appellant, a juvenile adjudicated delinquent who had been sentenced to a fixed term under Ind. Code § 31-37-19-10, was not entitled to a credit for time served in detention prior to sentencing.
