It’s More Than Just Toys…Message Of Giving Spreads From Public Safety Workers To Kids

While the 8th Annual 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays brought in a record number of donations, the most touching aspect of the event is bigger than the toys themselves.

As countless volunteers from the public safety community staffed the event for 60 straight hours, we were all touched by the amount of children who came out to donate a toy for another child. They donated for a child they will never meet. All they know is hospitalized child may need that toy some day and they wanted to make sure that no child would be left out. We also had some kids who were giving back. They had received a toy while in the hospital and wanted to make sure they were able to pay it forward.

We saw Chucky Williams and Kameryn Dix organize a year long toy drive to help 911 Gives Hope. We had a young man with a big heart donate his birthday presents to other kids.

We can’t express our gratitude enough to all of the kids who helped make our toy drive a success. We can only stand back in amazement and know that our community will be in good hands long after we finish our careers.

Mead Johnson Terminal

0

As early as 1856, the federal government recognized Evansville’s significance as a transportation center by designating it an official Port of Entry. Evansville businessman E. Mead Johnson, Sr., bolstered this position when he built the shipping terminal on Ohio Street that bears his name. Dedicated in February 1931, the warehouse boasted 90,000 square feet and was the largest such structure on the Ohio River. This photo, taken soon after it opened, also shows the remnants of Sweezer Pond to the north of the terminal.

AG Zoeller Appointed To National Advisory Board

CWAG Alliance Partnership Develops Cross-Border Legal Relationships  

INDIANAPOLIS – In recognition of his commitment and ongoing efforts to build relationships with attorney general counterparts in countries like Mexico and Cuba, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller has been named to the Alliance Partnership of the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG) Advisory Board.

Zoeller has been involved for several years in multi-state and bi-national efforts with other state AGs to combat international crime, and support rule of law in both the U.S. and Mexico.

“I am honored to continue my involvement in the Alliance Partnership and its mission,” Zoeller said.  “The issues we tackle are not isolated and require ongoing dialogue and training with our Latin American neighbors to advance the rule of law and in combating the cross-border issues like human trafficking and transnational violence.”

The Conference of Western Attorneys General coordinates the efforts of the Alliance Partnership which leverages funding from the State Department and other entities who support Rule of Law programming.  There are 42 United States Attorneys General Offices participating in the training of Mexican State Attorneys General Offices, and other Mexican justice and law enforcement entities.  CWAG has 34 participating Mexican jurisdictions and more than a dozen additional Mexican federal and State partnering agencies.

The most recent exchange occurred this past September when the Partnership sponsored Zoeller and a team of United States Attorneys General in an exchange in Cuba.  The team met with their Cuban counterparts and interacted with members of the Cuban legal community in an ongoing multi-state effort to combat human and drug trafficking.  The cost of the trip, and all trips, are handled by the Alliance Partnership and are not paid for with Indiana tax dollars.

“These exchanges offer valuable insights for every participant,” Zoeller added. “Despite differences in our legal systems, every country faces serious common problems and we need to collaborate to fight transnational crime.”

The September meetings in Cuba, were one of several previous meetings organized by the CWAG Alliance Partnership between state AGs from the U.S. and their counterparts in Mexico and other Latin American nations.

Zoeller has initiated partnerships between the Alliance Partnership and the Wilson Center.  In September 2010, Zoeller’s office hosted a training event , attended by 70 prosecutors and investigators from Mexico that focused on Mexico’s rule of law. Zoeller and former United States Senator, Richard Lugar keynoted that program.

In October 2015, Zoeller and a group of other state AGs from the U.S. attended a two-day conference in Mexico City and met with that nation’s criminal justice officials to discuss the problems of human trafficking, drug trafficking and Internet privacy.

Zoeller also serves as the National Association of Attorneys General liaison to the United States Trade Representative and is a member of the United States Global Leadership Coalition’s Indiana Advisory Committee.

7th Circuit Affirms Murder, Racketeering Convictions Despite Government Error

7th Circuit Affirms Murder, Racketeering Convictions Despite Government Error

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

Despite improper statements made by the government during closing arguments of a trial, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the defendant’s murder and racketeering convictions, writing that the statements constituted harmless error.

In United States of America v. Juan Briseno, 15-2347, Juan Briseno was indicted and tried for murder, attempted murder and multiple charges related to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act based on his two-year association with an East Chicago gang.

During closing arguments, the government referenced various allegations connecting Briseno to the attempted murder of Andreas Arenivas. The government also contented that in order for Briseno to not be guilty, its witnesses must have conspired to frame him through false testimony at trial. Finally, the government emphasized that eight of its witnesses deserved to be believed. In his eventual appeal, Briseno would contend that each of those statements was improper.

After deliberations, the jury convicted Briseno of nine counts – conspiracy to participate in racketeering, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute at least five kilograms of cocaine and 100 kilograms of marijuana, five separate murders in aid of racketeering, attempted murder in aid of racketeering, and use of a firearm during a crime of violence.

Briseno appealed for a new trial, arguing that the government’s statements during closing arguments had improperly referenced evidence pertaining to a prior acquittal, impermissibly shifted the burden of proof to him and vouched for its witnesses in an inappropriate fashion.

Specifically, Briseno argued that the government had improperly argued that he was guilty of attempting to murder Arenivas and of using a firearm in that attempt by referencing five pieces of evidence related to the Arenivas case, such as his alleged stated intent to kill him and the use of the same gun that was used in the murder of Harris Brown, for which Briseno was charged.

Such evidence was improper in the present case because a district judge had acquitted Briseno in the Arenivas case, he said. But 7th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ann Williams wrote in a Friday opinion that Briseno’s argument was based on the incorrect assumption that the Arenivas case had no bearing on the current case.

Instead, Williams wrote that the Arenivas evidence in question related to the gang’s practice of attacking individuals who posed a threat to its drug-trafficking enterprise, which relates to the RICO conspiracy charge. Additionally, the gun was also relevant to the Brown murder charge because it was the same gun used in the Arenivas case, so the government did not act improperly by referencing it in closing arguments, she wrote. Further, even if the statements were erroneous, the error was harmless, Williams said.

However, the 7th Circuit did agree with Briseno that the government’s statements implying that witnesses would have had to conspire to submit false testimony in order for him to be not guilty “crossed the line by implying that the jury could not acquit Briseno while at the same time accepting as truthful the testimony of the government’s witnesses.”

But Williams wrote that such an error was not fatal to the government’s case because there was more than sufficient evidence of Briseno’s guilt, and much of that evidence involved credibility determinations as to the government’s witnesses.

Additionally, any improper statements the government made vouching for eight of its witnesses did not deny Briseno of a fair trial, Williams said.

“The statements were solitary and brief in nature, the district judge instructed the jurors both before and after closing arguments that attorney statements were not evidence, and as noted above the vast weight of the evidence was against Briseno,” she wrote.

Finally, Williams wrote that the jury instructions related to the racketeering charges were not erroneous because Briseno did not object to them at trial and because there was no “clear or obvious” error.

COA reverses handgun conviction because officer didn’t follow protocol

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A police officer did not follow the proper protocol for conducting an inventory search of a detainee’s car, thus making the search impermissible under state and federal constitutions and prohibiting the admittance of any evidence obtained through the search.

In Andre Anderson v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1511-CR-1947, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Cory Heiny pulled over Andre Anderson after running the license plate on Anderson’s car and learning that Anderson had an outstanding warrant for strangulation and his driving privileges were suspended. Heiny requested that Anderson step out of the car, a request Anderson complied with, but not before removing his jacket, an action Heiny said was “uncommon.”

After handcuffing Anderson, Heiny returned to the car before it was towed away, picked up the jacket and discovered a handgun in his pocket. Anderson was not licensed to carry the gun, so the state charged him with Class A misdemeanor and Level 5 felony carrying a handgun without a license. Anderson moved to suppress the handgun as evidence, but the Marion Superior Court denied the motion. He also objected to the admission of the handgun at trial, but his objection was overruled.

The court found Anderson guilty of the felony and sentenced him to three years, prompting Anderson’s appeal, though he chose to forgo an interlocutory appeal of the denial of his motion to suppress.

In his field arrest report of the incident, Heiny framed the search as a search of the vehicle incident to arrest, but in the probable cause affidavit, Heiny describes it as “an inventory of the vehicle prior to towing it from the roadway.” The trial court had declared the search a “valid search incident to arrest” and did not decide whether it was also proper as an inventory search. The state argued that regardless of the type of search Heiny conducted, it was lawful under both state and federal constitutional protections against unlawful searches and seizures.

However, the Indiana Court of Appeals wrote Monday that based on the precedent of Arizona v. Gant, 556 U.S. 332, 335 (2009), Heiny’s entrance into the passenger compartment of Anderson’s car was unlawful. In Gant, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the search of the passenger compartment of a car, incident to the arrest of the driver and sole occupant, is not justified when that driver “could not have accessed his car to retrieve weapons or evidence at the time of the search.”

Similarly, the appellate court held that although IMPD does have a procedure in place through which it can tow cars, there was no evidence presented at trial that showed Heiny followed that procedure. Thus, his search of Anderson’s car did not fall into the inventory search exception to state and federal laws prohibiting unlawful and unwarranted searches and seizures.

Therefore, the appellate panel unanimously reversed the Marion Superior Court’s finding that Anderson was guilty of the Level 5 felony.
