Multi-victim and family cases, and the named-statute test

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Indiana appellate and session-law record checked · Penn Township

The row asks for the multi-victim and family murder cases whole, including any statute that took a victim's name — the pattern of a law renamed for the child or family it came from. Tested against this ground: there is no multi-victim case and no family murder case seated in Osceola or Penn Township in the record reached, because the frame seats no murder case here at all (the Crime leg's sweep, printed whole in that leg). The named-statute limb was checked with it: no Indiana statute in the session-law record reached carries the name of an Osceola or Penn Township victim, and none could be tied to a case on this ground. Tested negative on both limbs. The finding is printed without embroidery: for a town of 2,590 with no homicide in its official record, the high-profile-murder leg's honest content is the sweep itself, and the county's real cases stand in the Crime leg at county size.
