Dustin A. Lane v. State of Indiana
24S-CR-150
Criminal. Affirms Dustin Lane’s aggregate sentence of more than eight years for 10 misdemeanors he committed by sending letters from prison to his former partner, while serving time after a domestic battery conviction and in violation of a no-contact order. Finds that a lengthy sentence of incarceration for such offenses is necessary to protect victims and the community from an offender with a history of violence.
