Case Summary

Monroe pleaded guilty without an agreement to Count I, murder; Count II, murder in perpetration of robbery; and Count III, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury. The Porter Superior Court imposed an aggregate sentence of 72.5 years for Counts I and III. It did not enter judgment on Count II. Monroe appealed, arguing (1) the convictions violated double jeopardy, and (2) the trial court abused its sentencing discretion. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Monroe v. State, No. 24A-CR-2812 (Ind. Ct. App. June 27, 2025) (mem.), trans. pending. Monroe has petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to take jurisdiction over the appeal.
