Vincennes All-American Dossett signs with Aces Women’s Basketball

0

 Matt Ruffing’s first signing as interim head coach for the University of Evansville women’s basketball team was a big one as he announced the addition of junior college All-American Brooke Dossett on Tuesday.

“We’re happy to welcome Brooke and her parents Nate and Karla to the Aces family,” Ruffing said. “She will bring outstanding character and competitive drive to our program, and I’m looking forward to her joining us in the summer.”

Dossett, who will be joining the Purple Aces out of nearby Vincennes University, played point guard for the Blazers and led the team to an impressive 29-6 record. The Warsaw, Ky., native and Gallatin County High School product averaged 12.5 points and three assists per game. The 5-foot-6 incoming junior shot 45% from the field and 40% from distance last season as the Blazers advanced to the NJCAA national tournament.

“When you’re looking at point guards, you look for leaders, and she helped lead Vincennes to the national tournament during a great sophomore year,” Ruffing explained. “With the graduation of Laura Friday, we were looking to bolster that position going into next season. She has a high basketball IQ, and she’s a talented scorer. She checks all the boxes that we are looking for in a point guard.”

Prior to Vincennes, Dossett was an impressive prep player for Gallatin County, playing on the varsity team for six years, culminating with a senior campaign where she averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game.

The 2016-17 UE women’s basketball season will begin in the fall.

Justices find man did not waive his right to jury trial

0

Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Supreme Court reversed and remanded a man’s conviction for Class D felony domestic battery after it found his silence did not constitute a waiver to right of trial by jury.

It also found acknowledging publicly available records as evidence in a trial is minimally sufficient, but is not an encouraged practice and those records should be entered into the court record whenever possible.

Adam Horton was convicted of Class A misdemeanor battery and sought to bifurcate a Class D felony battery charge against him. After he was convicted, the judge asked Horton’s attorney if he would like to waive Horton’s jury trial right on the felony charge. The attorney said yes, and he would like it proceed as a bench trial, but Horton said nothing. Horton was later found guilty of the charge.

During the bench trial, the state asked the court to take notice of another case file in proving Horton’s prior domestic battery conviction, but never entered that into evidence. Horton didn’t object.

Horton appealed and said he did not waive his jury trial rights. He also said because the sentencing order from the prior conviction was unsigned, insufficient evidence supported the felony domestic battery conviction. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court, and the Supreme Court granted transfer.

The state admitted that Horton did not personally waive his rights, but said the court should make an exception because he had just experienced a jury trial and is more aware of the right his attorney attempts to waive on his behalf. Citing precedent from a few cases, the decision written by Chief Justice Loretta Rush said the court could not grant that exception.

“The personal waiver requirement, rooted in Indiana Code section 35-37-1-2 and longstanding precedent, eliminates an intolerable risk,” Rush wrote. “It ensures that a felony prosecution will not proceed to a bench trial against the defendant’s will by demanding direct evidence that waiver is the defendant’s choice. Given the high stakes of erroneous jury-trial deprivation and the low cost of confirming personal waiver, we see no reason to dilute our time-honored personal waiver requirement by ‘back[ing] away from [the] standard practice’ that ‘Indiana trial courts have clearly adopted.’”

The court also ruled it was not an abuse of the trial court’s discretion to admit evidence from Horton’s prior conviction, even though it was not entered into the record. The information was publicly available and the case number was given, so it was easy to look up. However, not including this information makes it harder on appellate courts, so it should be included whenever possible.

The case is Adam Horton v. State of Indiana, 79S02-1510-CR-628.
