COA Reverses One Of Multiple Firearm Convictions On Double Jeopardy Grounds

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theidianalaywer.com

An Indianapolis man who was found guilty of multiple crimes following a single traffic stop has gotten some relief after the Indiana Court of Appeals tossed one of the convictions because it violated double jeopardy principles.

Dwayne Springfield was pulled over by an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Officer in December 2016. He scuffled with the officer and tried to run away but was quickly caught with the help of other officers who had arrived at the scene. They were able to place Springfield in handcuffs, but not before he bit one officer and struck another in the face.

Subsequently, the officers discovered Springfield had a handgun in one pocket and a sock with “multiple baggies of narcotics” in the other.  He was thus charged with Count I, dealing in cocaine while in possession of a firearm, a Level 2 felony; Count II, possession of cocaine and firearm, a Level 4 felony; Count III, dealing in a narcotic drug while in possession of a firearm, a Level 3 felony; Count IV, possession of a narcotic drug and a firearm, a Level 5 felony; Count V, an unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, a Level 4 felony; Counts VI-VII, battery resulting in bodily injury to an officer, Level 5 felonies; Count VIII, resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor; and Count IX, possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor. Also, the state filed a habitual offender charge against Springfield.

In the first phase of a trifurcated jury trial, the jury found Springfield guilty on Counts II, IV, V, VI, VIII and IX. During the second phase, the jury returned with a guilty verdict on Count V, a Level 5 felony for unlawful possession of a firearm by a SVF. In the third phase, a bench trial, the court adjudicated Springfield a habitual offender. He was then sentenced to an aggregate of 30 years, including 12 years for Count V.

On appeal, Springfield argued his convictions for the Level 4 felony possession of cocaine and a firearm, Level 5 felony possession of a narcotic drug and a firearm and Level 5 felony unlawful possession of firearm by a SVF are all based on the possession of a single gun. Thus, the convictions violate Indiana’s prohibitions against double jeopardy because the same evidence was used in the three convictions, he said.

The Court of Appeals agreed double jeopardy was violated. It reversed Springfield’s conviction and accompanying sentence for the Level 5 felony unlawful possession of a firearm in Dwayne A. Springfield v. State of Indiana, 18A-CR-1317.

Specifically, the appellate panel found that during the trifurcated trial, the state moved to incorporate all the evidence from the first phase – which included convictions for possession of narcotics while armed with a firearm – into the second phase. Also, the state submitted a certified document from Springfield’s prior Class B felony robbery conviction in 2004, which classified him as a serious violent felon.

“It is readily apparent that the State invited the jury to rely on evidence that Springfield had a gun when he possessed cocaine and fentanyl, to also convict Springfield of unlawful possession of a firearm by an SVF,” Judge Patricia Riley wrote for the court. “The same conduct cannot permissibly support both the enhancements and form the basis of a separate crime.”

Unions Did Great Things for the Working Class

Unions Did Great Things for the Working Class

Strengthening them could blunt inequality and wage stagnation.

By   

Politically and economically, unions are sort of an odd duck. They aren’t part of the apparatus of the state, yet they depend crucially on state protections in order to wield their power. They’re stakeholders in corporations, but often have adversarial relationships with management. Historically, unions are a big reason that the working class won many of the protections and rights it now enjoys, but they often leave the working class fragmented and divided — between different companies, between union and non-union workers, and even between different ethnic groups.

Economists, too, have long puzzled about how to think about unions. They don’t fit easily into the standard paradigm of modern economic theory in which atomistic individuals and companies abide by rules overseen by an all-powerful government. Some economists see unions as a cartel, protecting insiders at the expense of outsiders. According to this theory, unions raise wages but also drive up unemployment. This is the interpretation of unions taught in many introductory courses and textbooks.

If this were really what unions did, it might be worth it to simply let them slip into oblivion, as private-sector unions have been doing in the U.S.:

It’s Been a While Since the Union Made Us Strong

The share of workforce belonging to unions in the private sector

But there are many reasons to think that this theory of unions isn’t right — or, at least, is woefully incomplete.

First, even back in the 1970s, some economists realized that unions do a lot more than just push up wages. In a 1979 paper entitled “The Two Faces of Unionism,” economists Richard Freeman and James Medoff argued that “by providing workers with a voice both at the workplace and in the political arena, unions can and do affect positively the functioning of the economic and social systems.”

Freeman and Medoff cite data showing that unions reduced turnover, which lowers costs associated with constantly finding and training new workers. They also show that unions engaged in political activity that benefitted the working class more broadly, rather than just union members. And they showed that contrary to popular belief, unions actually decreased racial wage disparities. Finally, Freeman and Medoff argue that by defining standard wage rates within industries, unions actually reduced wage inequality overall, despite the cartel-like effect emphasized in econ textbooks.

But the world didn’t listen to Freeman and Medoff, and private-sector unions declined into near-insignificance. Now, four decades later, economists are again starting to suspect that unions were a better deal than the textbooks made them out to be. A recent paper by economists Henry Farber, Daniel Herbst, Ilyana Kuziemko and Suresh Naidu concludes that unions were an important force reducing inequality in the U.S.
QuicktakeIncome Inequality

Since past data tends to be patchy, Farber et al. combine a huge number of different data sources to get a detailed picture of unionization rates going all the way back to 1936, the year after Congress passed a law letting private-sector employees form unions. The authors find that as unionization rises, inequality tends to fall, and vice versa. Nor is this effect driven by greater skills and education on the part of union workers; during the era from 1940 through 1970, when unionization rose and inequality fell, union workers tended to be less educated than others. In other words, unions lifted the workers at the bottom of the distribution. Black workers, and other nonwhite workers tended to benefit the most from the union boost.

Now, however, private-sector unions are mostly a faded memory and their power to raise wages has waned — Farber et al. find that although there’s still a union wage premium, it’s now much more due to the fact that higher-skilled workers tended to be the ones who stayed unionized. A 2004 paper by economists John DiNardo and David Lee found that by 1984-1999, unions had lost much of their ability to force wages higher.

Given the contrast between the golden age of 1940-1970 and the current age of spiraling inequality, wouldn’t it make sense to bring unions back? Perhaps. The key question is why private-sector unions mostly died out. Policy changes — right-to-work laws, and the appointment of anti-union regulators, probably played a key role in reducing unionization. But globalization may have also played a big part. Competition from companies in countries like Germany — where unions often bargain to hold down wages in order to increase their companies’ competitiveness — might have made the old American model of unionization unsustainable. Now, with even stiffer competition from China, the challenge of re-unionizing the U.S. might be an insurmountable one.

But it might be worth it to try. Other than massive government redistribution of income and wealth, there’s really no other obvious way to address the country’s rising inequality. Also, there’s the chance that unions might be an effective remedy for the problem of increasing corporate market power — evidence suggests that when unionization rates are high, industry concentration is less effective at suppressing wages. Repealing right-to-work laws and appointing more pro-union regulators could be just the medicine the economy needs.

So supporters of free markets should rethink their antipathy to unions. As socialism gains support among the young, both economists and free-market thinkers should consider the possibility that unions — that odd hybrid of free-market bargaining and government intervention — were the vaccine that allowed the U.S. and other rich nations to largely escape the disasters of communism in the 20th century.

RILEY HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN RECEIVES DONATION FROM TROPICANA EVANSVILLE!

This December, Team Members at Tropicana Evansville pulled a $500 donation out of their denim pockets to give to Riley Hospital for Children.  Each month, Team Members have the opportunity to wear blue jeans on designated days in exchange for a donation to a pre-selected charity.

One of the top children’s hospitals in the country, Riley Hospital for children opened in 1924 with funds from a foundation set up to honor “Children’s Poet” James Whitcomb Riley, who lived in Indianapolis.  Now operated by Indiana University Health, Riley Hospital for Children helps more than 57,000 patients annually.

Tropicana Evansville’s Team Members are pleased that their donations help fund programs for children across Indiana and the United States.  Those programs include pediatric research; educational opportunities for physicians and medical students; facilities and life-sustaining technology for children; life-changing summer adventures for children with disabilities at Camp Riley and emergency financial support for families.

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

Methodist board will vote today on Deaconess deal. Methodist board has never had a full reading of the agreement and the general board has no idea of the actual content of the deal they have only been given a slide presentation by Deaconess of the points Deaconess felt they needed to know
They do not know if it is an affiliation a merger I’ll buy out or a lopsided management arrangement where deaconess it holds all the power
ZFTC has had additional complaints filed against this deal unknown if they will take action

The attorney general for Kentucky has been contacting do not know if they will take action

IS IT TRUE that ECHO Housing attorney Scott Wylie alleges that “all donor funds that have come to ECHO have been accounted for”?  …we wonder if ECHO attorney Wylie did a forensic audit of all the funds earmarked and collected on the 66 properties that ECHO owns in Evansville; the proposed $6.1 million dollars 27-unit homeless housing complex; the $8 million dollars 44 unit Garfield Commons project scheduled to open in a couple of months?  … also wonder if attorney Scott Wylie alleged financial review included the payroll and travel vouchers of the former Executive Director during the last 3 years?

IS IT TRUE that both St Vincents and Deaconess Hospitals are part of an important data gathering effort to learn more about Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome  (NAS)?   …that NAS is when a baby is born dependent on drugs (mostly opioids) due to mom’s substance abuse?  …the Commission on the Improvement of Children (CISC) has on its website a factual explanation of infant mortality, including an explanation of the survey our hospitals have volunteered to participate?  …attached is the link to the CISC for your review?

Tourism in 2017 continues to grow

0

A new study released by Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch with the Indiana Office of Tourism Development shows a growing impact tourism has on Indiana’s economy.

“Now in its seventh year of continued growth, the tourism industry has set a record $12.7 billion in visitor spending last year,” Crouch said. “This trend, combined with the new leadership Misty Weisensteiner will bring, will take tourism to the Next Level in the years to come.”

Here are some of the highlights of the report:

  • The number of visitors to Indiana destinations increased to 80 million;
  • Total visitor spending reached $12.7B;
  • Overnight visits rose to 31.2 million;
  • Spending per visitor rose to $158;
  • Visitor spending added $9.8B to the state’s gross domestic product;
  • Out of each dollar spent, $0.72 stays in Indiana;
  • Tourism generated $1.4B in state and local taxes;
  • Indiana tourism supported 199,830 full-time jobs; and
  • Hoosier households saved an average of $561.

The study was commissioned by the Indiana Office of Tourism Development and conducted by Rockport Analytics, an independent market research and consulting company that specializes in economic impact and feasibility studies for the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. The methodology employed by this study is in accordance with industry best practices and aligns economic impact data at the state and local level with rigorous methodological standards that are recognized as the highest in the industry.

The study used data on Indiana visitor spending derived from multiple sources including Longwoods International, Reach Market Planning and the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Travel & Tourism Office. It was then reconciled with Bureau of Labor Statistics reported employment data, Indiana Department of Revenue reported tax receipts and secondary sources such as Smith Travel Research.

The infographic illustrates some key data points in the economic report. It can be found on the Indiana Office of Tourism Development’s website, VisitIndianaTourism.com.

Due to an error discovered during our 2017 research, we have included a restatement of our 2016 numbers with our 2017 report. For more information on the revision, go to VisitIndianaTourism.com.

Bitsy is a female black cat. She is one of the VHS’ longest residents, waiting on a home since JULY – she had her kittens shortly after arriving at VHS and raised them in foster care. Now they’ve all been adopted and hopefully it’s her turn soon. Her adoption fee is $40 and includes her microchip, vaccines, and spay surgery. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!
