Justices find nature of murders supports death penalty

0

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Gary man who shot and killed his wife and her two children at close range will remain on death row, the Indiana Supreme Court concluded Wednesday.

Kevin Charles Isom was convicted of three counts of murder for the 2007 shooting deaths of wife, Cassandra, and his 13-year-old stepdaughter, Ci’Andria Cole, and 16-year-old stepson, Michael Moore. All three victims were shot multiple times with various weapons. The SWAT team responded to the incident and eventually gained entry to Isom’s apartment, finding him in a bedroom with the guns and blood from all three victims on his clothing.

The jury recommended the death penalty and the trial court sentenced Isom to three death sentences to be served consecutively.

In Kevin Charles Isom v. State of Indiana, 45S00-0803-DP-125, Isom appealed, raising several claims, including that certain for-cause challenges of certain jurors should have been granted; his jury instruction on voluntary manslaughter should have been given and allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.

The justices rejected all of his claims, finding no error by the judge to not dismiss certain jurors and the lack of sudden heat to support an instruction on voluntary manslaughter. Comments by the prosecutor during the penalty phase – that Isom failed his wife as a partner and his children as a father – stepped over the line because it is misconduct for a prosecutor to request a jury to return a death penalty for anything other than the mitigating factors are outweighed by the aggravating factor or factors, Justice Robert Rucker wrote. But Isom did not object at trial to the state’s remarks and they do not amount to fundamental error. Any harm done by the remark was minimal and not substantial based on the other evidence, the justices held.

His death sentence is appropriate given the nature of the crimes, but the trial court erred in imposing consecutive life sentences. The death penalty is not a “term of imprisonment” that would allow for the imposition of consecutive sentences, so the trial court exceeded its statutory authority by ordering the death sentences served consecutively, Rucker wrote.

The case is remanded for the trial court to issue a new sentencing order.

Democratic Chairman Contends Bosma and Winnecke  Ignore Students Who Need IU Med Center Most

5

Vanderburgh County Democratic Chairman Rob Faulkner today challenged the Republican Speaker of the Indiana House and his fellow Republican in the Mayor’s office to stop posturing and be forthcoming with Evansville residents about the IU Med Center project.

Dear CCO Readers:

“House Speaker Brian Bosma is back in Evansville this week, and we can expect him to continue bragging about supposed accomplishments of the Republican-led legislature this year, when their most prominent accomplishment was to trash the state’s image. But it’s also a good bet that he will heap praise on Republican Mayor Lloyd Winnecke for leading the IU Med Center project,” Faulkner said.

The Democratic leader points out that Bosma and Winnecke have yet to fully explain the downsizing of this important project through the exclusion of Ivy Tech Community College and the extensive student population it serves. “It’s clear that it’s about politics and weak leadership,” he said.

Winnecke views the approved IU Med Center plan as adequate, but he doesn’t admit that by cutting Ivy Tech out of the project, Republicans are denying a life-changing opportunity to many who need it the most, Faulkner said.

“Working adults needing training to get better jobs in medical fields and students graduating high school without the financial resources to attend Indiana University, University of Evansville or even University of Southern Indiana will be left out,” the Democratic chairman charged.

Faulkner said Bosma and Winnecke should be forthcoming about why Evansville is now facing such limited benefits from this transformational project, and why so many individuals will be deprived of a chance to improve their lives by getting training at this innovative facility.

Sincerely,

Rob Faulkner

Vanderburgh County Democratic  Party Chairman

New Tech Institute Receives Bronze Ranking   

0

 

New Tech Institute was informed recently that it received a Bronze ranking in the U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Schools.” New Tech is one of only 33 percent of schools across the United States to receive a medal.

U.S. News rankings included data from more than 21,000 public high schools in the United States. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.

Specifically, the report looked at three main areas. If schools passed one step, they were then evaluated on the next step. The three steps included:

  1. Whether each school’s students were performing better than statistically expected for students in their state.
  2. Whether their disadvantaged students were outperforming disadvantaged students in the state.
  3. College readiness performance using Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test data.
