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.
