Lisa Livingston, Appellant (defendant Below) v. State of Indiana, Appellee (plaintiff Below).

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer and independently reviewed Livingston's sentence under Appellate Rule 7(B). Although her drug offenses were serious, her cooperation, guilty plea, rehabilitation, community service, lengthy offense-free period, and demonstrated compliance made this an exceptional case warranting reduction of her aggregate sentence from thirty years to twenty-three years, with the remaining time served in community corrections.
