Indiana Supreme Court
State of Indiana v. Samuel E. Vande Brake
20S-CR-499
Criminal. Affirms the Tippecanoe Superior Court’s dismissal of the State of Indiana’s firearm enhancement sought against Samuel Vande Brake. Finds the state failed to meet its burden to show that the trial court’s implied finding of waiver and subsequent sua sponte dismissal of the firearm enhancement were contrary to law.
