7th Circuit Court of Appeals
USA v. Timothy Kurzynowski
20-3491
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson.
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Timothy Kurzynowski’s motion for compassionate release from his 96-month sentence for conviction for distribution of child pornography pursuant to § 603 of the First Step Act of 2018, 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Finds the Southern District Court properly exercised its discretion in denying Kurzynowski’s motion. Also finds that under United States v. Broadfield, 5 F.4th 801 (7th Cir. 2021), the fact that Kurzynowski is vaccinated precludes a finding that the COVID-19 pandemic presents extraordinary and compelling reasons for his release.

Indiana Court of Appeals of Indiana
Alphonso L. James, III v. State of Indiana
21A-CR-148
Criminal. Reverses Alphonso L. James III’s sentence to 63 years for the murder of Jaren Minies when James was 13 years old. Finds a six-decade sentence reserved for the worst adult offenders is not appropriate for a 13-year-old child in light of the nature of his offense and his character. Also finds the Elkhart Circuit Court was justified in rejecting the most lenient approach available when sentencing James, alternative juvenile sentencing. Finally, finds the trial court did not erroneously consider unadjudicated or unadmitted allegations of juvenile offenses as aggravating circumstances, and any error would have been harmless. Remands for the entry of a 55-year sentence.
