11 a.m. 28A01-1202-PC-50. In 2010, Jerry L. Kindred was convicted of Class C felony child molesting and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Kindred filed an appeal, but later sought a stay of that appeal to pursue post-conviction relief on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial misconduct. Kindred now appeals the denial of his request for post-conviction relief and reinstates his direct appeal utilizing the Davis-Hatton procedure. Kindred contends that the post-conviction court erred in finding: no ineffective assistance of counsel at Kindred’s trial for child molesting and no prosecutorial misconduct that amounted to fundamental error. For his direct appeal claims, Kindred argues that the trial court abused its discretion by: admitting hearsay evidence; admitting opinion/vouching testimony; and admitting an un-redacted audio tape of Kindred’s interview with investigators with an accompanying transcript. Kindred also argues on direct appeal that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct that amounted to fundamental error.
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.
