Retired Judge Tinder to lead Task Force on Public Defense

0

IL for www.theindianalwyer.com

A former 7th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge is stepping into a new role as chair of an effort designed to assess the current state of Indiana’s public defender system.

Judge John Tinder, who retired from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals two years ago, has accepted the Indiana Public Defender Commission’s invitation to lead the Indiana Task Force on Public Defense, a new group tasked with recommending improvements to the state’s public defender system. Tinder is stepping into the leadership role after U.S. District Judge Larry McKinney, who was initially selected to lead the task force, died last month.

Tinder’s legal career prior to ascending to the 7th Circuit bench included work as a public defender, as well as a state and federal prosecutor and judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, where he served alongside McKinney.

“Judge Larry McKinney was a dear friend and a great colleague of mine,” Tinder said in a statement. “His untimely death was a great loss to the legal community. I am privileged to carry on the work of this important task force.”

The commission created the task force last month after the Sixth Amendment Center released a report last year that was critical of Indiana’s system of public defense and questioned whether the state was meeting its constitutional obligation to provide counsel to indigent criminal defendants. Likewise, public defenders from around the state recently raised concerns to lawmakers about growing caseloads and offered suggestions for ways to infuse their offices with additional funds.

To address the issues found in its report, the Sixth Amendment Center called for greater accountability and oversight of the state’s public defense system and structural changes to ensure sufficient resources and compensation. Under Tinder’s leadership, the 16-person task force will study the current state of the public defender system and make its own recommendations for changes or improvements.

The task force will hold a series of meetings and public hearings throughout the state to elicit ideas from public defenders and other stakeholders. It is also accepting public comment, which can be submitted via email to information@pdcom.in.gov, or through the mail to Indiana Task Force on Public Defense, 309 West Washington St., Suite 501, Indianapolis, 46208. The task force’s next meeting will be from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 27 at the same address.

MATT HOSTETTIER ANNOUNCING CANDIDACY FOR INDIANA STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 64

0
Good Afternoon. I’m glad to see you all here today. My Name is Matt Hostettler, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for Indiana State Representative of District 64. My wife, Michelle, and I are lifelong residents of southwestern Indiana and we’re glad to call Gibson County home. It’s a wonderful place to raise our son, Gabriel. It’s a wonderful place for us and so many others to live and work.  Southwest Indiana is made up of people who are dedicated to our faith, our families, and working hard to build flourishing communities throughout Gibson, Vanderburgh, Knox, Pike, and Posey Counties.
 
Michelle and I have been truly blessed by the hand of Providence.  Among those blessings has been the knowledge that Rep. Tom Washburne has been guarding our faith, our family, and our checkbooks in the General Assembly.  His character, work ethic, and community involvement exemplify Hoosier values – our values. I intend to pick up where he will leave off, making sure that Indiana continues to be a great place to live and work; and a great place for children to grow and be educated. I will work to make sure that Indiana, specifically our portion of southwestern Indiana, continues to be a great place to raise a family, start and grow a business, and enjoy ALL of the blessings of liberty.
 
Indiana’s Republican-led legislature and Gov. Eric Holcomb have put Hoosiers on a path of economic growth which is being fueled by fiscal responsibility as well as efficient and effective governance. Our commitment to infrastructure improvement will benefit Hoosier families and businesses for generations to come, and I’ll make sure that District 64 is well-represented as these improvements are implemented.
 
I’ll strive every day to make sure the freedoms Hoosiers enjoy are not compromised. I will fight to protect those innocents among us who cannot protect themselves – whether they are in their mother’s womb or on the threshold of entering their final rest – and everywhere in between. I will fight to ensure unity between our communities and the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And I will fight to make sure that we as individuals will continue to enjoy the natural rights endowed by our Creator as well as the civil rights that those who’ve gone before us have enshrined in our Constitutions and statutes.
 
Thank you all for coming out today to show your support. You make this a worthwhile endeavor. You make this possible. Once again, my name is Matt Hostettler, Republican candidate for Indiana State Representative District 64. I appreciate your support and ask for your vote in the Republican Primary on Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Thank you and God Bless.

Hunter Life-Flighted After Fall from Tree Stand (Pike County)

0

Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a fall from a tree stand that resulted in a hunter being flown by helicopter to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville for treatment.

Paul Moore (77) of Holland Indiana fell approximately fifteen feet from a tree stand causing several broken bones and a collapsed lung.  A hunting partner heard him fall, went back to his location and administered CPR.

First responders were able to get him to an ambulance where he was stabilized and transported to an area he could be transferred to a helicopter.

The incident took place on Sugar Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area property around 5:00 pm on Sunday October 15th 2017.

Responding agencies included The Pike County Sheriff’s Department, Lockhart and Spurgeon Fire Departments, Pike County EMS and Indiana Conservation Officers.

Moore was not wearing any type of safety harness when he fell and advised he lost his grip as he was climbing into the stand causing him to fall backwards.
