Indiana Court of Appeals Overturns a Man’s Conviction for Rape and Criminal Deviate Conduct

August 29, 2014

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned Attorney Matthew Fech’s client’s convictions today for rape and criminal deviate conduct that resulted in a 60 year aggregate sentence.  The Court of Appeals found that due to the trial court’s decision to allow the State to introduce evidence of a prior, unrelated sexual assault that the Mr. Thompson was likely prejudiced and that his conviction should be reversed.  The case was remanded back to the trial court for further proceedings.  You can read the decision here – http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/pdf/08291401jgb.pdf
