Indiana justices hear appeal of man convicted of killing 4

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

The attorney for a southern Indiana man appealing his quadruple murder conviction told the Indiana Supreme Court that circumstantial evidence linking him to that crime doesn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt he was the killer.

A Bartholomew County jury convicted Samuel Sallee last year in the fatal 2013 shootings of three men and a woman. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Sallee’s attorney, Jane Ann Noblitt, told the Supreme Court on Thursday there’s no forensic evidence linking Sallee to those slayings.

But deputy attorney general Jesse Drum noted the male victims’ wallets were found at a home where Sallee was staying. He told the justices that evidence and an inmate’s testimony that Sallee confessed to the killings allowed jurors to reasonably conclude Sallee committed the killings.

Grooms, Marcum combine for 48 as Eagles end slide

0

Sophomore guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) and junior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) combined for 48 points as University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball earned a 74-61 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over visiting Maryville University Thursday evening at the Physical Activities Center.

Grooms finished with a career-best and USI season-high 27 points, while Marcum added 21 points as USI ended a 10-game losing streak.

After falling behind by a point midway through the opening quarter, the Screaming Eagles used a 13-2 run to take an 18-8 lead late in the first period.

Maryville (10-11, 4-10 GLVC) cut USI’s advantage to three midway through the second quarter, but back-to-back three-pointers by junior guard Kendyl Dearing (Huntingburg, Indiana) gave the Eagles a 31-22 cushion with 4:30 to play in the half.

The Saints got to within six points late in the second frame, but a 6-0 run that featured baskets by Grooms, Marcum, and freshman center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) staked the Eagles to a 41-29 lead at the break.

An old-fashioned three-point play by Grooms early in the third period saw USI’s advantage balloon to a game-high 14 points (49-35). Grooms had 18 of her 27 points in the final 20 minutes as USI’s lead did not slip below nine points throughout the final 19 minutes of the contest.

USI (11-11, 4-10 GLVC) dominated the game inside the lane as it outscored the Saints 30-14 in the paint. The Eagles had five players with at least five rebounds, including five for both Grooms and Marcum, as USI held a 36-32 rebounding edge.

The Eagles also went 6-of-13 from downtown, with Dearing scoring all nine of her points from behind the arc.

Sophomore guard Ali Ringering and sophomore forward Madeline Hartke each had 17 points to lead the Saints, who were held to 39.6 percent (19-48) shooting and 30.0 percent (6-20) from three-point range.

The Eagles return to action Saturday at 1 p.m. when they host the University of Missouri-St. Louis for Homecoming and their annual Play4Kay game-USI fans are encouraged to join the Eagles by wearing pink. The Tritons (9-13, 4-10 GLVC) suffered a 66-47 setback to Bellarmine University Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dr. Bucshon Comments on SCOTUS Delay of EPA’s Clean Power Plan

3

 Eighth District Congressman and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement after the Supreme Court issued a stay of the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan:

I’m happy to see the Supreme Court rule in favor of states like Indiana that depend on coal for low-cost energy and good-paying jobs. Let’s be clear: these regulations are not about the environment. They are about controlling our nation’s energy sector and transforming it to fit the ideological views of liberals in Washington, D.C., even at the expense of middle class families here in coal country. 

 “I’ve always maintained that our energy policies should strike the appropriate balance between the way we generate energy and protect our environment. I support an all-of-the-above strategy that incorporates renewables as well as fossil fuels. However, the way forward is through private sector innovation, not top down federal regulations that damage our economy and stymie research and development.”
Last year, a coalition of states, including Indiana, filed a lawsuit challenging the legal standing of the EPA’s “Clean Power Plan”. In December, the House passed a resolution disapproving the plan.

Additionally, in June, the House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act (H.R. 2042), a bill introduced by Congressman Ed Whitfield (KY-01), to protect families and businesses from significant electricity rate increases or reduced electric reliability that may result from EPA’s regulations. Following the vote, Bucshon said:
