Court of Appeals of Indiana
James Huspon v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-PC-2853
Post-conviction relief. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s denial of post-conviction relief to James Huspon. Finds Huspon’s 100-year sentence does not violate the Eighth Amendment. Also finds Huspon has failed to establish that his proffered evidence relating to juvenile brain development would result in a shorter sentence. Declines to address Huspon’s argument that his sentence violates Article 1, Section 16 of the Indiana Constitution because he did not raise an argument based on the nature of his offenses.

Remands for further proceedings.
