John C. Miller v. Indiana

IFP petition · Court of Appeals of Indiana, No. 22A-CR-1055 · judgment December 27, 2022


Certiorari denied · October 20, 2025

Question presented

Whether of not the decision made on March 13, 2025 by the Indiana Supreme Court was in error. Based on the substantive argument made by the Defendant’s Counsel based on this Courts decision in Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968). State provisions provided the petitioner with additional constitutional protections under the Indiana State Constitution Art. 1 § 11 and its benchmark ruling in Litchfield v. State, 2005 Ind. LEXIS 254. Counsel’s failure to preserve the argument was considered ’waived’ by the Indiana Court of Appeals on December 27, 2022- The Petitioner's Counsel failed to seek a transfer in order that its Constitutional import be reviewed. Hence this petition for full and complete exhaustion of rights to be guaranteed under the 4th Amendment., and this Court's ruling in ’Terry' Id. (Reference: explicitly Exhibit/Appendix marked 'E' Pg. 2/17.)
