Indiana Court of Appeals
Jennifer E. Chadd v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2546
Appeal from the Tippecanoe Superior Court, Judge Randy J. Williams. The court affirmed Jennifer Chadd’s convictions for dealing in methamphetamine and theft of a firearm and her sentence. Chadd challenged the admission of evidence related to her prior conduct, the sufficiency of the evidence for the theft conviction, and the appropriateness of her sentence. The court found no reversible error in the admission of evidence, stating it was relevant to matters other than her propensity to commit the act and not unfairly prejudicial. The court also determined there was sufficient evidence to support the theft conviction, noting Chadd’s conflicting statements regarding possession of the firearm and her knowledge of its stolen status. Regarding sentencing, the court concluded that her aggregate sentence was appropriate given her offenses and character. Senior Judge Crone authored the opinion, with Judge Vaidik concurring and Judge Felix concurring with a separate opinion. Attorney for appellant: Michael D. Dean, Withered Burns, LLP, Lafayette. Attorneys for appellee: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
