Indiana Court of Appeals
James Satterfield v. State of Indiana
49A02-1409-CR-659
Criminal. Reverses denial of motion to let bail following Satterfield’s arrest and charge for murder. Although Statterfield forfeited his right to appeal by not filing the notice of appeal within 30 days of the trial court order, the COA concluded his appeal deserves a determination on the merits. Remands for new hearing so Satterfield can present evidence of self-defense.

20A03-1408-CR-300
Criminal.

Based on sentences imposed in similar cases, Hunt’s sentence is an outlier that is in need of revision. Orders his sentence to be revised to an aggregate term of 100 years.
