Gerald Pinkston v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A-CR-2216
Criminal. Affirms Gerald Pinkston’s convictions of three counts of murder and one count of criminal recklessness, and his sentence to an aggregate of 166 years. Finds Pinkston failed to demonstrate reversible error resulting from the admission of a .40 caliber handgun and testimony by a detective, the Allen Superior Court’s accomplice liability instructions or the deputy prosecutor’s conduct. Also finds the state proved the offenses beyond a reasonable doubt and that Pinkston’s sentence is not inappropriate considering his offenses and character.

Richard Allen Byrd v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
21A-CR-637
Criminal. Affirms the Howard Circuit Court’s sentencing of Richard Allen Byrd to an aggregate of five years, with three years suspended to supervised probation, for his convictions of Level 6 felony sexual battery. Finds Byrd’s guilty plea isn’t substantially mitigating as he gained a benefit by having Level 4 felony child molesting charges exchanged for Level 6 felony battery convictions. Also finds the executed portion of his sentencing appropriate.
