Indiana Court of Appeals
Dominick D. Jones v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-2608
Criminal. Affirms Dominick Jones’ convictions in Elkhart Superior Court for child molesting. Finds Jones failed to show that Victim 1’s testimony was inherently contradictory, and her testimony was corroborated by other testimony and circumstantial evidence. The evidence was sufficient to support Jones’s convictions. Reverses the trial court’s order denying Jones credit time for improperly filing pro se motions and other pleadings. Finds Jones is statutorily entitled to credit time while awaiting sentencing and the trial court was without discretion to deprive Jones of the credit time as a sanction for filing pro se pleadings and motions while represented by counsel. Remands this case to the trial court to calculate the correct amount of credit time to which Jones is entitled and issue a revised sentencing statement in accordance therewith. Affirms Jones’ 120-year aggregate sentence. Finds Jones failed to demonstrate that his sentence is inappropriate in light of the specific factors considered by the trial court that distinguished his offenses from those committed by the defendants in other cases. Also finds Jones’s sentence is not inappropriate and should not be revised. Attorney for appellant: Donald Shuler. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Kelly Loy.
