Indiana Court of Appeals
Sobirjon Rakhimov v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-2172
Criminal. Affirms Sobirjon Rakhimov’s two convictions in Whitley Circuit Court for reckless homicide. Finds no reasonable interpretation of the facts suggests that Rakhimov’s conduct was merely negligent. Also finds that while Rakhimov was free to, and did, argue to the jury that he acted only negligently, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by refusing any of the jury instructions proposed by Rakhimov. Attorney for appellant: Cara Schaefer Wieneke. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Assistant Section Chief, Criminal Appeals Jesse Drum.
