Two UE volleyball alums ink professional deals
Mildrelis Rodriguez and Joselyn Coronel to continue careers
 On January 4, 2020, a pair of former University of Evansville volleyball players advanced their careers as Joselyn Coronel and Mildrelis Rodriguez were selected to play in the Puerto Rico Volleyball Professional League.
Coronel was selected with the 8th pick in the first round by the Corozal Pinkin while Rodriguez was selected as the 13th pick of the second round by the Mayagüez Indians.
“I am very proud of what both of them have accomplished after graduating from UE. I knew they could do big thinks on and off the court,†UE head volleyball coach Fernando Morales said. “I followed them when they were playing the semi-pro league during the fall when they took their team to the finals. That was the perfect set up for both of them being selected in the draft. We will follow their career and be cheering on them from here. Hopefully we can see them in the national team program soon.â€
Following her graduation from Evansville, Coronel arrived in Puerto Rico and began playing in the Puerto Rican Volleyball Confederation (COPUVO) with Humacao. She played and trained on a regular basis. Coronel will be teaming up with another former Aces player – Gabriela Roman. Roman graduated from UE in 2016 and is in her fourth season as a pro in Puerto Rico.
“It feels like a goal accomplished; I am very happy to have achieved another of my dreams,†Coronel exclaimed. “I hope to gain a lot of experience from my teammates, my coach, Angel Perez, and progress day by day as it is a new team.â€
Rodriguez also started her career with COPUVO. As a rookie, she led her team to a runner-up finish. Aside from her work on the court, she served as a coach in July of 2019 with the Coamo High School Volleyball Academy in Coamo.
“Being officially in the league is a dream come true,†Rodriguez explained. “I am about to live the dream that I had for a long time, like every girl who grows up in Puerto Rico in the world of volleyball, because we all yearn to get there one day and it is being given to me. I feel proud of myself for having come here and grateful to all those people who helped me get here.â€
Practice for both began in the second week of January with the first matches taking place on February 12.
Court of Appeals Of Indiana To Hold Arguments On USI Campus
The Court of Appeals of Indiana will hear oral arguments in the case of Harold Warren vs. State of Indiana on the University of Southern Indiana campus at 11 a.m. Monday, February 3. The hearing will take place in Carter Hall in University Center West and is free and open to the public.
The case raised by Warren, who is appealing the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, is based on a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Warren claims his trial counsel was ineffective because trial counsel did not present exculpatory evidence, did not hire or consult expert witnesses and did not interview or subpoena witnesses Warren felt were important. The State contends the evidence on which Warren relies from the post-conviction hearings would have been inadmissible at trial.
Presiding over the oral arguments will be the Honorable L. Mark Bailey, the Honorable Melissa May and the Honorable Elaine Browne. A question and answer period between attendees and the presiding judges will follow the arguments.
Traveling oral arguments, or Appeals on Wheels, are conducted across the state to help Hoosiers learn more about the judiciary’s indispensable role in Indiana government. They also provide opportunities for Court of Appeals judges to meet and talk with a broad range of citizens in relatively informal settings.

TIPPING THE SCALES
TIPPING THE SCALES
Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine
Ma’at, the daughter of Ra, the sun god, and Hathor his wife, maybe the earliest recognized use of a deity holding a scale to represent justice. A few thousand years later the Greeks looked to the goddesses Themis and Dike to balance court cases, then the Romans envisioned Justina as a blindfolded law-giver carrying a set of scales and a sword.
I do not know why humans tend to look to women as the bearers of truth but my guess is it is because we all had mothers and most likely we realized early on that what mom said was the law. Dads may occasionally get to brandish a sword but all smart husbands know when the rubber meets the road mom rules.
Regardless, all those female judicial goddesses are portrayed trying to balance the scales of justice. One does not need to be a judge in a court to understand the law is a matter of balancing interests, the yin, and yang of life.
While every court case can be better understood applying the lessons learned from the study of balancing competing interests, rape cases can be jarring evidence of why tipped scales and slipped blindfolds have represented failed justice systems for thousands of years. The balance of power between a victim of a sexual assault and her or his assailant is often greatly weighted in favor of the antagonist. And not only does life on the streets usually favor the assaulter, when the legal system gets involved often such things as the wealth, power and fame of some defendants tilts the scales in their favor vis a vis other defendants. Therefore, not only does Lady Justice sometimes have her scales akilter against the victims of an assault, she also disproportionally imposes more severe sanctions on less well situated criminals, a dual slippage of the blindfold and an unfair tilting of the scales.
If a defendant has means and connections he or she may be able to avoid even being charged or, if charged, may be able to avoid jail or even a conviction by paying money directly to the victim. It is certainly justice to compensate victims but is not justice to buy one’s self out of jail. Such tilted scales can lead to a cynical belief in society that Lady Justice is no better than some other practitioner of situational ethics. And if society comes to believe that a thumb on the scales is to be expected, the goddesses will lose their symbolic moral authority and the justice system will be seen as just a system.
