View this case - free  

Overview: Proportionality claim under Ind. Const. art. 1, § 16 was properly denied because penalty for identity deception under Ind. Code § 35-43-5-3.5 was not unconstitutionally disproportionate as compared with penalty for impersonating a public servant under Ind. Code § 35-44-2-3 and fact that no person was harmed was not a defense to identity deception.

Overview: Even though his sentences for robbery and burglary were not imposed at the same time, defendant's sentences were properly made consecutive under Ind.

Overview: When an estate totalled just under $100,000, and $26,000 had already been awarded to its attorneys, the probate court properly denied a second petition for over $26,000 in additional attorney fees.

I, § 11. The location of the car on the shoulder of a road posed a threat to the community, and removal was authorized by Ind. Code §§ 9-21-16-1 and 9-21-16-3.

View this case - free  

Overview: Appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise aggregate length of consecutive sentences for two counts of attempted murder; shots from which charges arose were fired within seconds of each other and thus were closely connected in time, place, and circumstance, constituting one episode of conduct within meaning of Ind. Code § 35-50-1-2(b).

Overview: In a case in which the trial court granted the adoption of two children by their great-uncle and great-aunt, the trial court did not err in concluding that father's consent to the adoptions was not required under Ind.
