Andrew
Conley v. State of Indiana
58S00-1011-CR-634
Criminal. Affirms sentence of life without parole for Conley, who was 17 at the time he killed his 10-year-old brother. The
court held that based on the age of defendant, the age of his brother, and the heinous nature of the crime, a sentence of
life without parole was appropriate and constitutional.
Engelica
E. Castillo v. State of Indiana
45S00-1102-LW-110
Criminal. Reverses sentence of life without parole for a conviction of murder and remands to the trial court to enter a revised
sentence of 65 years in prison, holding that Castillo’s role in causing fatal injuries to a 2-year-old was indirect
and that her sentence was inappropriate compared with that of a co-defendant.

Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.
This is disturbing to learn...
Yikes!
