February 1997 – November 19, 1999

The banked item: The Murders file carries the February 1997 west-side shootings — five people shot between February 12 and 26, one fatally — and Kahlenbeck's conviction, with the sentence's exact terms held for the appellate opinion. This pass read the opinion first-hand: Kahlenbeck v. State, 719 N.E.2d 1213 (Ind. 1999), No. 71S00-9808-CR-435, decided November 19, 1999. The opinion names the accomplices, Lief O'Connell and Bret Southers, and records one attempted-murder count dismissed during the trial.

The sentence: In the opinion's words: "the trial court sentenced him to concurrent terms of fifty-five years imprisonment for the murder and thirty years for each attempted murder." The convictions were affirmed. The banked entry's open term is closed on the opinion's own text.
