10/22 - Indiana Court of Appeals Oral Arguments & CLE Luncheon (Fort Wayne)
Indiana Court of Appeals Oral Argument
In Re: Young v. State 20A04‐1112‐CR‐699
The scheduled panel members are Judges Michael P. Barnes, Paul D. Mathias, and Nancy H. Vaidik.
Reasonable Doubt Lies in the Eyes of the Beholder
James Young appeals his conviction for Class D felony domestic battery and Class D felony strangulation following a
jury trial. Young’s wife, the victim, did not testify at trial, but two firefighters and a police officer who had spoken
with her at or near the time of the incidents involved were allowed to testify concerning the substance of the
statements she made to them.
Young presents the following issues for review on appeal: (1) whether the firefighters’ and police officer’s
testimony
regarding the victim’s statement to them was a violation of the Confrontation Clause within the Sixth Amendment of
the Constitution of the United States or permissible questioning during an ongoing emergency; (2) whether the trial
court abused its discretion in concluding that the victim’s statement to the police officer, more than 45 minutes
after the incidents, was an excited utterance; and (3) whether there was sufficient evidence to prove that Young
committed the offenses in a child’s physical presence so as to elevate the domestic battery offense to a Class D
felony.

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.
Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
Wow, just wow.
Forcing a defendant to wear a stun belt, in court or otherwise, is a violation of american principles! It is also unconstitutional!
So, if I save $100.00 cash per week, from my $500.00 per week paycheck, for 50 years, at which time, I will have saved $260,000.00, the government can raid my home and take my money, just by saying it is drug money! Shouldn't the government, have some kind of evidence of drugs, rather, than just saying we are the government and we will take anything you own, anytime we choose? Tyranny is upon us! If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
