indigent person form - county pay for trial transcript

[quincy]

Indiana is something like $3.75 a page for snail pace. Get's higher the quicker you want it. Way higher!

I guess it depends on the transcription service - although the $3.75 might include office costs.

You can call the court clerk and the court reporting service used by the court.

I suspect that process is common throughout Indiana



If you contact the court clerk for the court involved, they can direct you to the appropriate source to obtain transcripts or to make request for a transcript for the purposes of an appeal.

That is my understanding of how it works in all of Indiana.

Great info! Thanks quincy! I've tried researching on the defendants county'swebsite but there's not a whole lot of information on it. Thanks again!

showing a 2 second youtube video to an 11 year old male minor which minor's mother thought was inappropriate

Apparently the jury thought it was inappropriate as well. You should consider that when considerimg your efforts.



Hey Quincy, the withdrawal of the attorney prior to sentencing: while it requires a court’s approval for a representing attorney to withdraw suggesting this court did authorize the withdrawal, isnt it a right a defendant be represented during sentencing as well as during the trial? I would think the lack of representation during sentencing might also be a possible claim for at least a new sentencing hearing. Depending on the reason for withdrawal, that might also allow for support for a claim of ineffective counsel, at least in my thoughts.

We appreciate the thanks, bess.

Good luck.

ya, I do as well


Bess, what county are you dealing with?

My thoughts are the same, justalayman. I question the withdrawal of counsel prior to sentencing (unless perhaps a plea deal was reached that the parties knew would be approved by the judge).

That was what I was thinking on the other thread. I asked OP if defendant requested another attorney and OP never answered that question.

In Indiana a plea deal, while agreed to in whole by the parties, is not binding on the courts. Only a signed deal with the courts participation is binding. Without the binding agreement, the judge can simply refuse the deal at their discretion, and have occasionally been known to do so. That would mean unless the deal was binding on the courts, the defendant should continue to have representation throughout the process.

And since Bess is chasing info for an appeal, that makes the likelihood of a plea deal less likely. As most are aware, it is very difficult and unusual to have a plea deal unwound. The fact of there being a plea deal almost certainly removes the claim of ineffective counsel. It proves the attorney was present and active in the defendants trial. In at least one court, it wasn’t even a requirement counsel be awake for the trial (can’t recall the court but basically the defense counsel was often asleep. The defendants claim of ineffective counsel was denied)

Oh. I agree with all that. I am just trying to come up with some reason why the court would allow for the attorney's withdrawal without a replacement attorney.

Perhaps the defendant waived the right to an attorney?

He apparently requested an attorney.

Bess, is it possible that you're not aware of all the facts in this case, including the offense? Because I doubt that it was "2 seconds" of pornographic material that your friend showed the child. And EVEN if it was -- what was he doing showing porn to a child?

There was no mention of pornography - and a YouTube video is unlikely to be pornographic.

The offense was a low level crime.

I can’t think of any other sort of video that would get somebody convicted of a crime by showing it to a child though.
