The closing of North Central High School on Thursday forced the rescheduling of oral arguments before the Indiana Court of Appeals in Jazzmen Bails v. State of Indiana, 18A-CR-00761. A new date and location for the argument was not immediately available.
Jazzmen Bails was convicted in June 2017 of Class A misdemeanor battery causing bodily harm when she forced her way into Denise Fugett’s home and punched her in the face multiple times. Bails argues she used self-defense in punching Fugett after Bails received death threats from Fugett’s daughters and believed Fugett was about to harm her first.
Bails challenges the trial court’s conclusion that the state presented sufficient evidence to defeat her claim of self-defense.
