Court of Appeals of Indiana
Jeffrey L. Awbrey v. State of Indiana
21A-CR-2867
Criminal. Reverses Jeffrey L. Awbrey’s conviction of Level 6 felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Finds that general testimony from a toxicologist about levels of methamphetamine consistent with those in Awbrey’s blood does not support the inference that Awbrey was impaired. Also finds the state failed to present sufficient evidence of the statutorily required impaired condition of thought and action and the loss of normal control of a person’s faculties. 

Judges keeping Capitol riot trials in DC amid bias claims

| Associated Press

Prosecutors and judges see no evidence that Capitol rioters can’t get a fair trial in the district and believe the process of weeding out biased jurors is working.

Indybar: The American Rule in Marital Disputes: Attorney Fees May Not Be Recoverable in an Action to Annul a Void Marriage

| Zach Stock and From IndyBar

We all know the American Rule by heart: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yes, but no. We’re referring to the other American Rule. The one that “requires the parties to pay their own attorney fees absent an agreement, statute or rule to the contrary.”

Op-ed: Indiana should be regulating for-profit bail bond companies, not attacking The Bail Project

| Greg Taylor

As an Indiana state senator and attorney, I pride myself on listening to my constituents and making decisions about policy based on evidence and sound reasoning — not political expediency and misleading sound bites. This is why I voted against House Bill 1300, which targeted charitable, not-for-profit organizations that help Hoosiers who cannot afford bail, and why I support The Bail Project and the ACLU of Indiana’s recently filed lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Insurance.
