10:30 a.m. No. 15A01-1109-CR-436. Franklin Community High School, Franklin, Ind. James Ripps was convicted of child molesting and sentenced to eight years with six years and 300 days of his sentence suspended to probation. Among the conditions of his probation were that he not reside within 1,000 feet of a school property and that he inform all persons living at his place of residence of his conviction. On May 27, 2011, the state filed a notice of probation violation alleging that Ripps had violated both of these conditions of his probation. Following a hearing, the trial court revoked Ripps’s probation and ordered that he serve the remainder of his suspended sentence. Ripps appeals the sentence, arguing that revoking his entire sentence was an abuse of discretion.
I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
