Indiana Court of Appeals
Zachary Clay Parksey v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-PC-2268
Appeal from the Vanderburgh Circuit Court, Judge Ryan D. Hatfield, Magistrate Celia M. Pauli. Zachary C. Parksey, after pleading guilty to Level 2 felony voluntary manslaughter, sought post-conviction relief, claiming he was not informed of the mandatory lifetime parole that accompanied his plea. The post-conviction court denied relief, asserting that no advisement of the parole requirement was necessary. The appellate court determined that mandatory lifetime parole is a direct consequence of the plea and that a defendant must be advised of it before pleading guilty. It found the post-conviction court had erred in its reliance on outdated case law, reversing the ruling and remanding the case for the necessary factual determinations regarding whether Parksey had been advised and whether this would have impacted his decision to plead guilty. Judge Altice authored the opinion, with Judges Brown and DeBoer concurring. Appellant appeared pro se. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
