COA: State has no burden to prove sanity
Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com
A man who unsuccessfully pursued an insanity defense failed to convince the Indiana Court of Appeals that the state had the burden of proving he was sane beyond a reasonable doubt.
Rodney Patterson of Muncie found guilty but mentally ill of a Level 1 felony charge of attempted murder after he shot Tong Ong, his apartment manager, in the chest. Refusing police orders to surrender, the special weapons and tactics team had to use a battering ram and detonated a distraction device to get into Patterson’s apartment and subdue him.
The state also charged him with unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, a Level 4 felony; criminal recklessness, a Level 5 felony; and resisting law enforcement, as a Class A misdemeanor.
In rejecting Patterson’s argument that the state had the burden of proving his sanity, the Court of Appeals noted the Indiana Supreme Court had ruled in Thompson v. State, 804 N.E.2d at 1149, that the state did not need to disprove insanity.
The appeals panel also noted that medical experts at Patterson’s trial offered conflicting testimony as to his mental health. One of the medical doctors who evaluated Patterson found he suffered from mental illness but should have been able to understand that it was wrong to shoot another person.
The case is Rodney G. Patterson v. State of Indiana, 18A-CR-959.

Trailblazing Astronaut Eileen Collins to Speak at UE’s Snyder Lecture on October 17
Trailblazing astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command an American spacecraft, will be the guest speaker for the University of Evansville’s Patricia H. Snyder Lecture in October. The lecture is planned for Wednesday, October 17, at 7:00 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University Center, on UE’s campus. The event is free and open to the public thanks to the generosity of the Snyder family.
One of America’s most admired women, Col. Collins became the first female to pilot a US spacecraft with the Discovery shuttle flight in 1995, and the first female commander on the 1999 Columbia shuttle flight. In 2005, NASA tapped her to command the space shuttle Discovery’s historic “Return to Flight†mission, NASA’s first manned flight following the loss of space shuttle Columbia in 2003. While logging 872 hours in space, Collins earned a reputation for coolness under pressure.
Collins will discuss how her career as an astronaut took shape, from her early years in the US Air Force to her ground-breaking experience with NASA. Drawing from her career experiences, she will share valuable insights learned from both her successes and her failures. She will also provide insight into the future of space travel as the world turns to exciting new space frontiers.
The Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series was made possible in 1997 through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of the University, to bring speakers or performers of renown to Evansville at no cost to the public.
Reservations are encouraged, but a ticket is not required to enter. Save your seat online at www.evansville.edu.
