CAIR Civil Rights Attorney to Speak at UE’s Constitution Day Lecture

1

Carolyn Homer, a civil rights attorney with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), will be the guest speaker for this year’s Constitution Day lecture at the University of Evansville. The lecture is planned for Thursday, September 20 at 4:00 p.m. in Smythe Lecture Hall (Room 170) in the Schroeder School of Business Building. Admission to the lecture, which is part of UE’s annual observance of Constitution Day, is free and open to the public.

The topic of Homer’s lecture will be “Dissent is Patriotic.”  

Homer’s work focuses on fighting discrimination against American Muslims.  She is currently litigating constitutional challenges to the federal terrorist watch list, the presidential travel ban, and state attempts to silence advocacy on behalf of Palestine. CAIR also has a large docket of employment discrimination and prison discrimination cases.  

Prior to joining CAIR, Homer worked for five years at the leading international law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan on constitutional law and technology cases, on behalf of some of the largest Silicon Valley companies.

Homer is a graduate of Indiana University and George Washington University Law School. She is admitted to practice law in California, the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

Volleyball to complete non-conference slate in Dayton

UE plays in Flyer Invitational

Non-conference play comes to a close this weekend as the University of Evansville volleyball team heads to Dayton, Ohio for the Flyer Invitational.  UE faces Ohio State, Dayton and Tennessee in the tournament.

On Tuesday, the Aces played their final home non-conference contest against Tennessee State, earning the win in five sets.  Rachel Tam had 25 kills while Mildrelis Rodriguez had 14 and Kerra Cornist set her career mark with 12; Allana McInnis added 60 assists, the top mark of her career.

Tam added 25 more kills in 62 tries against TSU and continues to be near the top of the national standings in several categories.  She is 3rd in the nation with 193 total kills, 5th in the country with 208.0 total points, 11th with 4.71 kills per set and 25th in the NCAA with 436 total attacks.  Tam has finished with at least 11 kills in each match of the 2018 campaign; she has recorded 20 or more on four occasions while hitting .242 or higher six times.

Another impressive effort against Tennessee State saw Mildrelis Rodriguez post a career-high 24 digs while notching 14 kills.  The senior has five double-doubles in ten matches this season and ranks second on the team with 3.27 kills per set and third with 2.83 digs per game.  Rodriguez is 32nrd in the country with 427 attempts while her total 152.0 points and 134 kills are in the top 100 in the country.

Allana McInnis had the top match of her college career against Tennessee State, registering a total of 60 assists in leading UE to a 5-set win.  That effort came just three days after she earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team as UE hosted the Dunn Hospitality Invitational on Sept. 8.

Ohio State brings an 8-1 mark to the Flyer Invitational with wins coming over Texas A&M and Missouri with their only loss coming to Ole Miss.  The Buckeyes are led by Lauren Witte, who ranks 17th in the country hitting .423.

Dayton sports a 6-4 record, but three of those losses have come to nationally ranked opponents (12-Washington, 13-Pittsburgh, 16-Kentucky).  Lauren Bruns paces the Flyers with 4.23 kills per set.

Tennessee stands at 7-2 and has already defeated two nationally ranked opponents including a season-opening win over #22 Michigan State before earning a win over #16 San Diego last weekend.  They are led by Tessa Grubbs’ 3.72 kills per game.

AG Curtis Hill announces lawsuit targeting Indianapolis car dealers engaged in fraudulent practices

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today that his office has filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping the illegal activities of several individuals who conspired through illicit used-car dealerships to defraud several hundred customers. The Attorney General is also seeking to obtain restitution for affected consumers.

At the center of today’s lawsuit are two defendants, Jerramy Johnson and Jeffrey Presnell, who have an extensive disreputable history in the auto-sales industry. The duo has owned and operated several dealerships in Indianapolis that were forced to forfeit business licenses due to violations of Indiana laws.

Documented improprieties include:

  • misrepresenting the mileage on motor vehicles;
  • paying off an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer to falsely affirm that he inspected repairs made to salvage vehicles;
  • avoiding paying the full amount of sales taxes owed by misrepresenting the amounts paid by customers for vehicles;
  • failing to deliver titles in a timely manner; and
  • selling vehicles without a license and conspiring with a licensed dealership to avoid licensing laws and protections.

At issue in the complaint are Wheels of Fortune LLC, Southpointe Motorcars LLC, and Mid America Auto Remarketing. All three entities were owned by Johnson and operated by Johnson and Presnell.

Also named as defendants in the complaint are Keith Williams, Jeffrey Berry and BWI Equipment Inc.

Wheels of Fortune was never a licensed Indiana dealer but sold more than 350 vehicles between October 2017 and June 2018. To obtain vehicles, Wheels of Fortune purchased vehicles using the auction access of a licensed dealer, BWI Equipment Inc. Wheels of Fortune then sold vehicles using BWI paperwork. BWI was fully aware Wheels of Fortune was using its dealer license and paperwork. BWI then received $100 for every vehicle sold as payment for the arrangement..

Wheels of Fortune and Southpointe misrepresented the mileage on at least four motor vehicles, specifically advertising the vehicles as having significantly lower mileage than they actually did. Wheels of Fortune obtained vehicles with odometer “exempt” titles and high mileage but that had their odometers either altered or swapped out to show lower mileage. Wheels of Fortune then advertised the vehicles’ inaccurate mileage, often using “low mileage” as a selling point.

Johnson and Presnell rebuilt vehicles at their business, Mid America Auto Remarketing, before selling the vehicles to various Indiana dealers. To properly rebuild a vehicle and obtain a “rebuilt” title brand, entities must ensure the vehicles are inspected by an Indiana police officer. Johnson and Presnell paid an IMPD officer to sign off on vehicle repairs without actually inspecting the vehicles. The police officer signed off on 415 vehicles without conducting the required inspections. The police officer has since been arrested, charged with a felony for his actions and pleaded guilty.

Wheels of Fortune did not pay the proper amount of sales tax on vehicles it sold. As part of Wheels of Fortune’s arrangement with BWI, BWI paid the sales tax on the vehicles sold by Wheels of Fortune based on a report pulling the sale price of the vehicles from bills of sale. However, Wheels of Fortune falsely listed the selling price on bills of sale as significantly lower than the amount it actually received from consumers, thereby lowering the amount of sales taxes remitted.

Southpointe, owned by Johnson and operated by Presnell, failed to deliver titles in a timely manner to nine consumers who purchased vehicles.

Any consumers who experienced issues in transactions with any of these dealerships or individuals are encouraged to file a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General either online or by calling 1-800-382-5516.

Eagles Focus Shifts to Stegemoller Classic

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s and women’s cross country teams begin their season Friday at Angel Mounds for the Stegemoller Classic.

This year’s Stegemoller field includes harriers from all divisions, including McKendree University, Murray State University, MacMurray College (Ill.), Oakland City University, and UT-Martin,

Both Screaming Eagles squads made appearances in national and regional polls as part of the USTFCCCA Preseason Rankings, where the men were slotted second in the Midwest region and ninth in the nation. The women were third in the region and eleventh nationally.

Angel Mounds previously served as the 2017 NCAA Division II National Championship site for both the men and women’s races. Previously it also hosted the Division II Midwest Regionals in 2016.

The women’s five-kilometer race starts at 5:50 p.m., while the men’s race begins at 6:20 p.m. for a 7k.

TAKE NOTE:

  • Junior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) is the reigning GLVC Cross Country Champion
  • USI men have secured 13-straight GLVC Championships
  • Eight freshmen on both men’s and women’s squads make their debut
  • The last time USI started this late in the season was 2010 with the Appalachian State Mountaineer Opener
