This Traveling Oral Argument will not be webcast live because it will not take place in the Court of Appeals Courtroom. Video of the event will become available within about one week after the hearing. See Oral Arguments Online for video.

The State of Indiana charged Deonlashawn Cammron Simmons with murder for shooting a fourteen-year-old girl. A jury found Simmons guilty, and the trial court sentenced him to 105 years, including an enhancement for using a firearm.  Simmons now appeals his conviction, arguing: (1) the trial court erred in admitting a portion of his videotaped interview with police because it implied that he had a criminal history; (2) the trial court erred in admitting an ATF firearms trace summary for a gun found in his car because the State did not establish that it was accurate; and (3) the State did not present sufficient evidence to prove that he killed the victim. 

The scheduled panelists are Judge Vaidik, Judge Weissmann, and Judge Foley.
