VASQUEZ v. STATE

No. 02S00-0011-CR-711.

762 N.E.2d 92 (2001)

Sovayda VASQUEZ, Appellant (Defendant below), v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee (Plaintiff below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

November 16, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stanley L. Campbell, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Attorney for Appellant.

Steve Carter, Attorney General of Indiana, James A. Joven, Deputy Attorney General, Indianapolis, Indiana, Attorneys for Appellee.


SULLIVAN, Justice.

Defendant Sovayda Vasquez and two other women beat and stabbed a man to death and then stole his property. We find that her prior criminal history and the circumstances of this crime support the 65 year sentence for murder imposed by the trial court. And we reject her claims that there was insufficient evidence to convict her of robbery, residential entry, and theft, largely on the basis of her own statements.
