2011 – 2012
The banked item: The Murders file carries Castile as charged in 2011 in the neglect case in which her son Terry Sturgis was the first defendant, and convicted in 2012 on the Tribune's account, with her sentence unreached. This pass read the case's only appellate record: Castile v. State, No. 71A03-1112-CR-583 (Ind. Ct. App. July 17, 2012), a memorandum decision on bail.
The frame it settles: The decision states that Castile "stands charged with three counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury, class B felonies," under Indiana Code § 35-46-1-4(b) (2007), in St. Joseph Superior Court before Judge J. Woodward Miller, Cause No. 71D01-1111-FB-198. Her bond stood at $150,000 surety or $15,000 cash; its reduction was denied; and the trial court had noted that she faced "non-suspendable time and likely consecutive sentences." Sturgis's own appeal (No. 71A03-1207-CR-330, June 27, 2013) confirms the family frame the banked file carries — Castile was the children's grandmother, the family lived in her home, and the injured child was Tramelle.
What stays open: No post-conviction appeal stating her sentence surfaced's searches. The sentence remains where the banked file left it — open, with the St. Joseph Superior Court record as its settling source.
