JUCO Teammates With UE Ties Bring Chemistry To Aces’ Squad

0

In the third part of a six-part series, we introduce two more signees for the University of Evansville men’s soccer team. Coming to Evansville from Arizona, Zach Jakpor and Raphaello Colasito bring collegiate experience and chemistry to the Aces for 2019.

After two productive seasons with Chandler-Gilbert Community College, Zach Jakpor continues his college career with Evansville for 2019. As a sophomore in 2018, Jakpor scored five goals and added three assists as a defender in 24 games, while leading the Coyotes to a 12-11-1 record. Over the last 11 games of the season, Jakpor helped the Coyotes amass a goals-against average of 0.73.A teammate of Jakpor’s at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, Raphaello Colasito comes to Evansville with college playing experience and maturity. Colasito patrolled the midfield for the Coyotes tallying three goals and five assists in 24 games. Of Colasito’s three goals, the sophomore made the most of his scoring chances, notching a pair of game-winning goals.

Both Jakpor and Colasito have ties back to the Evansville men’s soccer program. Jakpor and Colasito each played under Aces’ alumni Scott Ikeda, who is an assistant coach at Chandler-Gilbert CC. Colasito’s connections continue as the Gilbert, Ariz. native played youth soccer with current Ace, Davis Peck, and was coached as a youth player by Tony Colavecchia, who was an assistant coach for Evansville’s 1985 final four team.

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JULY 19, 2019

21

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

“Right Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have two commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan’s comments are mostly about issues of national interest.  The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give Mr. Biden and Mr. Reagan exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.

FOOTNOTE: Any comments posted in this column do not represent the views or opinions of the City-County Observer or our advertisers.

Whether armed robber ‘physically restrained’ victims splits 7th Circuit

0
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
The question of whether an armed robber can be said to have physically restrained his victims as an enhancement under federal sentencing guidelines split the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday. The ruling also deepened a wide circuit split on the issue, with judges answering the question by employing a classic legal maxim: It depends.

In Joshua Herman’s second appeal of his 10-year sentence imposed in Indiana’s Northern District Court in Hammond, the majority of judges of the 7th Circuit joined Chief Judge Diane Wood’s opinion denying en banc review and remanding Herman’s case for resentencing, which could result in less time served.

Judges Joel Flaum and Michael Kanne dissented and would have granted en banc review. Judge William Bauer would have affirmed Herman’s sentence imposed by Northern District Senior Judge James Moody for the reasons set out in Flaum’s dissent.

Herman was convicted of armed robbery after he visited Jacob Kirk and his mother, Samantha Davis, at the house they shared in Hammond in 2016. After seeing a gun in Davis’ purse, Herman asked to handle it for a moment, which Davis allowed somewhat reluctantly, according to the record. As he did, Herman then pulled out a revolver and said to Davis and Kirk, “Look … stay seated. I don’t want to blow you guys back, but I will if I have to.”

Herman “instructed Kirk and Daniels not to move, and then turned and ran outside. Kirk and Daniels ignored Herman’s order and pursued him. Herman spun around, with (Davis’) gun in one hand and the revolver in the other and fired a shot that flew past Daniels’s head. Kirk recalled that just before Herman fired, Kirk heard him say ‘I told you not to … ,’ and then there was a ‘boom,’” Wood wrote.

After pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to 10 years in prison, Herman won a remand on appeal. One of the issues Moody was to consider on remand was whether the physical restraint sentencing enhancement in U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(B) applied to Herman. Moody found that it did and resentenced him to 10 years.

Wood noted that four circuits have held that pointing a gun at a person and commanding them not to move constitutes physical restraint, and four have held it does not. The majority in this case placed the 7th Circuit in the latter category, though with a caveat.

Wood and the majority denying en banc review found that the act of pointing a gun and ordering someone cannot by itself be considered physical restraint under the guidelines, but the panel struggled to draw a line in close cases between “physical restraint” and “psychological coercion.”

“If the Guideline had been meant to apply to all restraints, it would have said so; instead, it specifies physical restraints. That limitation rules out psychological coercion, even though such coercion has the potential to cause someone to freeze in place. Tellingly, it did not have that effect in Herman’s case — Kirk and Daniels followed him outside despite his warnings and their knowledge that he was armed with two guns,” Wood wrote for the majority.

“But there is a more general point here: the cases that have found physical restraint have focused on the action of the defendant, not on the reaction of the victim. If the defendant ties someone up, confines someone in a room from which there is no clear exit, renders the person immobile by knocking her out, or takes any of a thousand other physical actions against the targeted person that result in a physical limitation on her mobility, it makes sense to speak of physical restraint. Crucially, the victim’s reaction does not determine whether there is or is not physical restraint. If the defendant waves a gun around and barks out a command to stay still and the victim obeys, it makes no sense to say that the recipient of the order was physically restrained. Whatever restraint occurred came about from the way the victim decided to respond to the order. She might obey; she might ignore it; or she might attempt to flee. Her physical response to the defendant’s attempt to coerce, however, is not something that logically belongs within the scope of the physical-restraint guideline.

“Words should mean something, and in this case, the fact that the Guidelines call for physical restraint tells us that not all restraints warrant the two-level enhancement. Our review of our earlier decisions suggests that the middle position we were trying to articulate may have covered too much conduct,” Wood wrote.

“Although ordinarily we do not use Circuit Rule 40(e) when we are simply lining up on one side of an established circuit conflict, as we are doing here, this opinion is in tension with earlier decisions from this court. To the extent that those earlier cases allow for the application of the ‘physical restraint’ enhancement based solely on psychological coercion — including the coercion of being held at gun point — we hereby disapprove those holdings,” the majority held. “… In light of the conflicting views on the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(B), we are ordering the Clerk of Court to send this opinion to the U.S. Sentencing Commission for its consideration.”

In dissent, Flaum wrote that the psychological coercion test “is problematic for three reasons: It is contrary to the Guidelines’ language; it departs from over twenty-five years of this Court’s precedents … and it is in direct conflict with four other circuits… .”

Flaum further criticized the panel’s reliance on a victim’s response in such situations to determine whether the enhancement should apply. “I suggest such reasoning is divorced from reality. Just as a person can flee from a pointed gun, a person can break ties or binding or escape from a locked up room. This does not mean she is not physically restrained.

“…(P)ointing a gun at a person and demanding stillness is the figurative equivalent of tying, binding, or locking up a person,” he wrote. “In each of these scenarios, the offender takes some action to facilitate the commission of or escape from a robbery that has the effect of forcibly restraining a person.”

On remand, Herman will be sentenced under the new interpretation, but could still receive the same sentence. The sentencing range will be 100 to 120 months.

The case is United States of America v. Joshua T. Herman, 18-3057

Payments from $208M NCAA settlement begin in August

0

IL for www.theindianalawyercom

More than 50,000 former college athletes next month will begin collecting portions of a $208 million class-action settlement paid by Indianapolis-based NCAA in a case that challenged its caps on compensation.

Hagens Berman, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in Alston vs. the NCAA, said Wednesday 53,748 FBS football players and Division I men’s and women’s basketball players who competed between March 2010 to March 2017 are eligible to receive compensation.

The law firm said payments will range from $5,000 to $7,500 for those who competed for four years and checks will start being distributed in late August. Distribution was held up by one objector to the settlement, who missed a July 17 deadline to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The settlement of damages in the case was approved in 2017 by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken. Earlier this year Wilken issued a narrow ruling against the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the Alston case, saying the association could not cap compensation to athletes related to education.

Swimming and Diving Releases 2019-20 Schedule

0

In his first season at Evansville, head swimming and diving coach Stu Wilson announced the upcoming schedule for the 2019-20 season on Thursday (July 18).

The schedule features four home meets and eight road contests for the Purple Aces.

“The team and the coaching staff are excited about the upcoming season,” Wilson said. “We have a great opportunity to make it a very eventful year.”

The six-month schedule kicks off with a trip to the Butler Quad on September 29 before the home opener against Eastern Illinois on October 12. Six days later the Aces travel to Lebanon, Ill. to take on McKendree University.

Rounding out the month of October the Aces face conference foe Valparaiso on the road. Events return home on November 2 as the Aces take on Arkansas at Little Rock and Indiana State with a women’s only meet.

The Aces will then travel to Birmingham-Southern College (November 9) and the SIU Invitational (November 21-23) to close out 2019.

Opening up the spring season with a trip to Missouri State (January 11) before returning home for a men’s only event against Ball State (January 17).

Closing out the regular season, the Purple Aces head to St. Louis on January 18, then are home against Illinois State (women only) on January 24 and at Southern Illinois on February 1.

“The schedule will be challenging but the team will be ready for anything that will come their way,” Wilson said. “We hope to see a lot of the fans come out and support our team at all of the meets.”

The women’s Missouri Valley Conference championship is held in Columbia, Mo, February 19-22, while the men will compete in the MAC Championship March 4-7.
