A man’s convictions for felony neglect and battery in an incident that ultimately resulted in the death of his son did not constitute a double jeopardy violation, the Court of Appeals of Indiana affirmed Thursday.
The Court of Appeals of Indiana has been honored with the National Center for State Courts 2023 Sandra Day O’Connor Award for the Advancement of Civics.
The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer to two cases out of 22 last week, including a medical malpractice case and a juvenile delinquency adjudication voided by the Court of Appeals of Indiana.
A man convicted for the death of his infant son didn’t have his double jeopardy rights violated when both of his charges were elevated to Level 1 felonies. But the appellate court reversed the man’s sentencing order for an improper calculation of credit.
