7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Jeffrey J. Wilson
17-1076
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division.
Judge Sarah Evans Barker.
Criminal. Affirms Jeffrey Wilson’s convictions of 21 securities fraud-related offenses. Finds the evidence adequately supports the jury’s finding that Wilson acted knowingly and willfully when making false statements to investors, regulators, and outside accountants and government agents. Also finds the evidence supports the reasonable inference that Wilson was aware of and participated in a fraudulent tax scheme called “Alchemy.”

Indiana Court of Appeals
Robert Taylor v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)

49A04-1701-PC-30
Post-conviction. Affirms the denial of Robert Taylor’s petition for post-conviction relief. Finds the post-conviction court did not err in denying Taylor relief on his claim that the commissioner who presided over his trial committed judicial misconduct, or on his claims of prosecutorial misconduct. Also finds Taylor’s post-conviction counsel was not ineffective.

Also finds R.H.’s adjudications for both armed robbery and pointing a firearm violate double jeopardy protections.
