Country superstar, Jason Aldean entertained his fans just like he did before, as his last two trips to Evansville, IN were sell outs at Ford Center. Downtown Evansville was thriving as thousands of people were walking the streets headed to Ford Center. This year’s tour was “We Were Here Tour” with special guests Thomas Rhett and A Thousand Horses. Evansville was only the second performance of this tour and each act sure knew how to please a full house. A Thousand Horses started with singing cover songs with their songs in the mix. Thomas Rhett took selfies with dozens of fans cell phones and Jason Aldean capped off the night with a fantastic show and theatrics including colored lasers.

“It’s great to have Jason Aldean return for a second time and have another sell out at the Ford Center,” stated Executive Director, Scott Schoenike.

Justices find victim’s statements regarding altercation fall under hearsay exception

0

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

The admission of testimony regarding a murder victim’s recount of his previous altercation with the man convicted in his murder were properly allowed as hearsay statements under Indiana Evidence Rule 804(b)(3), the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The justices granted transfer to Leandrew Beasley v. State of Indiana, 49S02-1601-CR-20, and James Beasley v. State of Indiana,
49S04-1601-CR-19, who were jointly tried and convicted in the murder of James Allen and attempted murder of Gerald Beamon in Indianapolis in 2012.

The Beasleys appealed their convictions, arguing the trial court abused its discretion in allowing Beamon to testify – over their repeated hearsay objections – as to what Allen had told him about an altercation the day before involving Allen and Leandrew Beasley. The day before the fatal shooting, Leandrew Beasley and Allen got into a fight in a garage and Beasley pulled a gun. Allen attempted to grab it and Beasley was shot in the face. James Beasley was at the scene, according to Beamon. He was told this story by Allen the next day, who showed Beamon pictures of the Beasley brothers.

Shortly thereafter, Allen and Beamon were shot while moving items into an apartment. Beamon identified the shooters as the Beasley brothers.

The Court of Appeals held the admission of Beamon’s testimony regarding what Allen told him about the garage shooting was erroneous, but harmless. The justices took the companion cases based on this issue.

“In both (Jervis v. State, 679 N.E.2d 875, 878-80 (Ind. 1997)) and (Camm v. State, 908 N.E.2d 215, 220 (Ind. 2009)), the declarants’ statements sought to be admitted (one referencing dumping off a woman and the other having bodies on one’s conscience) were vague and subject to interpretation. Here, we have no such ambiguity: Allen gave Beamon a precise account of his altercation with Beasley, and stated in no uncertain terms that he shot Beasley in the face,” Justice Mark Massa wrote in Leandrew Beasley v. State of Indiana.

“Even if Allen believed the shooting was justified as a matter of self-defense, it does not necessarily follow that Allen believed there was no possibility of future civil or criminal liability for the act. Beasley opposes this position by likening Allen’s statements to telling someone you ‘drove home drunk last night,’ in support of his assertion that “trivial ‘confessions’ of criminal conduct” should not be rendered admissible hearsay under Rule 804(B)(3).

“We cannot agree that the act of shooting a fellow human being in the face qualifies as ‘trivial.’ Rather, we find the trial court could have reasonably determined that admitting to such a violent act would have ‘so great a tendency … to expose the declarant to civil or criminal liability’ that it was admissible hearsay under Rule 804(b)(3).”

The Supreme Court summarily affirmed the Court of Appeals decision in all other respects.

Second-Half Struggles Earn Eagles Third Straight Loss

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball made just six second-half field goals as it suffered a 60-42 Great Lakes Valley Conference setback to visiting Truman State University Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center.

USI (10-4, 3-3 GLVC) shot just 26.1 percent (6-23) from the field in the second half as Truman State turned a 32-28 halftime lead into the 18-point victory.

After falling behind by five midway through the second quarter, the Screaming Eagles strung together a 6-0 run to take a brief 26-25 advantage.

Truman State (11-6, 5-2 GLVC), however, outscored the Eagles, 7-2, throughout the final two minutes of the opening half as it went into the intermission with the four-point lead.

The Bulldogs carried that momentum into the third period, where they outscored USI, 17-7, to forge a 14-point lead heading into the final quarter. Truman State made just five shots in the third quarter, but four of those baskets were of the three-point variety.

USI struggled to get into any type of rhythm in the third period was it had just 15 possession in the quarter. The Eagles went 3-of-7 from the field, 1-of-4 from the free throw line, and had six turnovers in the third frame.

A three-pointer and a layup by sophomore guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) early in the fourth quarter briefly pumped some energy into the Eagles, but USI went just 1-of-8 from the field and had four turnovers throughout the final seven minutes of the game as it suffered its third consecutive loss.

Junior forward Hannah Wascher (Rantoul, Illinois) had a game-high 13 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Eagles, while junior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) finished with 12 points and three steals. Grooms had seven points, all of which came in the fourth quarter, while sophomore guard Randa Harshbarger (Philo, Illinois) had six points and three assists.

Truman State held a decisive advantage in points off the bench as the Bulldogs’ reserves outscored USI’s reserves 22-0. Truman State also went 9-of-20 from three-point range and held a 40-32 rebounding advantage.

Senior center Michalina Tomczak paced the Bulldogs with 10 points and seven rebounds.

USI returns to action Monday at 4:45 p.m. (CST) when it visits No. 17 Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. The Knights (11-1, 5-1 GLVC) suffered an 82-75 setback to No. 19 Quincy University Saturday in Louisville.
