7th Circuit Court of Appeals
USA v. Matthew J. Frazier
No. 24-3286
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division, Judge Damon R. Leichty. Before Circuit Judges Easterbrook, Rovner and Scudder. The decision of the district court is affirmed. The court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to order a second competency hearing before Frazier waived his right to a jury trial, as the evidence did not call into question his competency. The court also affirmed the imposition of a supervised release condition requiring Frazier to maintain full-time employment, noting that this condition provided options for circumstances where Frazier may be unable to meet the requirement. Judge Rovner authored the opinion. Judges Easterbrook and Scudder concurred.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Sharon McLain v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2562
Appeal from the Clark Circuit Court, Judge Bradley B. Jacobs. The court concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting body camera footage, as the defendant’s own admissions provided significant evidence against her, making any potential error harmless. The evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support McLain’s conviction for Level 2 felony dealing in methamphetamine, given her possession of over 20 grams and her recorded statements indicating intent to deliver. Furthermore, the court found that McLain’s advisory sentence of 17 and a half years was not inappropriate when considering her character and circumstances. Judge May authored the opinion, and Judges Pyle and Scheele concurred. Appellant’s attorney: Ralph E. Dowling, Muncie. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
