Jonah Samuel Henderson v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-CR-2298
Criminal. Affirms Jonah Henderson’s convictions of Level 1 attempted murder and Level 5 criminal recklessness and sentence to consecutive terms of 32 years and four years, with four years suspended to probation. Finds the Johnson Circuit Court did not err in admitting into evidence Henderson’s statements to police, and there was no fundamental error based on the trial court’s conflict of interest. Also finds sufficient evidence supports Henderson’s convictions, and those convictions do not violate double jeopardy. Finally, finds Henderson’s right to be present when the trial court entered its written judgment of conviction was not violated, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when sentencing him and his sentences do not warrant 7(B) revision.
