The Vanderburgh County Public Defender Agency has been appointed to represent you in your case.  If you are out of custody, you MUST call the Public Defender’s Office at 812-435-5900 immediately.  A specific attorney will be assigned to your case as soon as possible.  If you do not make bond you will be notified of the name of your assigned attorney.  If you make bond and do not know which attorney has been assigned to your case you may contact the Agency at 812-435-5900 or go to https://public.courts.in.gov/mycase and find out who your attorney is.

It is important that your attorney be able to contact you.  It is your responsibility to provide us with addresses and telephone numbers where you may be reached.  (IF YOU ARE RELEASED FROM JAIL OR MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION CALL THE PUBLIC DEFENDER’S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY SO THAT WE HAVE YOUR MOST RECENT ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS.)  Failure to do so may result in you missing important court dates.

You must appear in court when ordered to do so or when requested by your attorney.  Frequently, additional court dates at which you need to appear are scheduled after your first appearance in court.  Your failure to appear for court dates or failure to maintain contact with your attorney will lead to the assumption that you do not need the assistance of a public defender and may result in the court granting the Agency’s motion to withdraw our appearance as your attorney.  In addition, failure to appear for your court dates may result in the court revoking your bond and issuing a warrant for your arrest.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, USE THAT RIGHT!  DO NOT TALK TO OR WRITE TO ANYONE ABOUT YOUR CASE.  ALSO REMEMBER THAT ALL VISITS AND PHONE CALLS AT THE JAIL ARE RECORDED.  YOU SHOULD SPEAK ONLY TO YOUR ATTORNEY OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PUBLIC DEFENDER AGENCY ABOUT YOUR CASE.  “Anyone” means the police, the judge, the prosecutor, other attorneys, media, cell mates, friends and even family members.  Almost anyone may be used as a witness against you if you volunteer information about your case.

It may take several weeks to obtain a copy of the evidence which the State intends to use against you.  You will be provided a copy of the charging information and affidavit of probable cause shortly after the Agency’s appointment to your case.  However, obtaining additional information may take some time - so please be patient.  Your attorney will discuss the evidence with you at the appropriate time. Your attorney is not obligated to talk to any family or friends about your case and cannot without your permission.

7-STEPS TO PROCESSING A COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION

1. FILING A COMPLAINT

WHO - Any person claiming to be a aggrieved by a discriminatory practice or act contrary to the provisions in the City-County law may file a complaint with the City-County Human Relations Commission.

WHEN - A complaint must be filed within 90 days from the date of occurrence of the discriminatory act (except in housing cases).

A complaint alleging a discriminatory housing practice must be filed within 1 year after the discriminatory act has occurred.

HOW - Complaints may be filed either by personal delivery, US Postal Service mail, or FAX. If needed, the HRC staff will provide assistance in drafting and filing the complaint. The complaint must be in writing and signed under penalties of perjury.

WHERE - Human Relations Commission, 1 NW Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Rm 209, Evansville, IN 47708.

2. INVESTIGATION

The HRC investigator's job is to collect and summarized the evidence. The investigator must collect the best evidence available for each side. Thus,you may be asked to supply documents that support your position.

The investigator will seek information to compare the treatment given the Complainant to that treatment given to other similarly situated individuals or groups.

Three may be an attempt to discuss the issues and settle the case. Your lawyer is welcome to participate in the investigation, but a LAWYER IS NOT REQUIRED.

The HRC investigator may also request that a test be performed during the investigation. Testing is a controlled method to determine differential treatment in the quality and content of information and/or services given in order to discovery any discriminatory practices.

NOTE: You may have other rights or causes of action that do not fall under the jurisdiction of the City-County Human Relations Commission. If you feel you do, you should contact a lawyer.

3. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S DETERMINATION

If no settlement has been reached, the facts and recommendations are presented to the executive director who reviews the material and makes a determination whether there is probable cause to believe that an illegal act of discrimination occurred. The complainant has 15 days to ask for reconsideration of a 'no probable cause' finding.

4. CONCILIATION SETTLEMENT

If probable cause IS found, a formal attempt to resolve the case will be made. If settlement is achieved, a written Consent Agreement will be issued for signature by all parties. The agreement is then submitted to the Human Relations Commission for consideration. When approved, a Consent Agreement has the same affect as a Final Order.

5. PUBLIC HEARING

If settlement fails, the case is tried at a public hearing. Respondent must hire its own private attorney to represent its claim. The burden of proof is on the complainant. A Hearing Officer presides at the public hearing.

Proposed findings are issued by the Hearing Officer and submitted to the HRC. Either party has 10 days to file objections to the recommended findings. An oral argument on objections may be held before the full Commission.

6. FINAL ORDER

A Final Order by the Commission is binding. Either party may seek judicial review.

7. REMEDIES

If the Commission finds discrimination has occurred, a Final Order may include a cease and desist order and require further affirmative action that would eliminate discrimination. This might include reinstatement to a job, monetary relief where evidence showed there was some resulting loss, making a house or apartment available, and/or validating selection devices. Reasonable attorney's fees and costs may be awarded to the prevailing party in housing cases.

If you have a pending case, you should make arrangements to meet with your Public Defender in person as soon as possible.  To protect you while your case is pending, below are some practical suggestions which you may wish to follow:

* Do not discuss your case with anyone other than your Attorney.

Inmates, co-defendants and sometimes associates are looking for opportunities to provide information to the police or prosecution to help their own cases or to get themselves out of trouble. They frequently will wind up testifying against you.

* Do not write letters to the police, prosecutor or judge about your case.

These letters will often times become evidence against you at trial or will lead to the discovery of evidence that can be used against you.

* Do not speak to or give statements to the police about your case.

If you decide to speak with the police, it should only be after you and your Attorney have determined that it is in your best interest to do so. Any agreement providing for your cooperation should be in writing. You should not try to represent yourself in this regard.

* Do not contact the alleged victim or the state’s witnesses either directly or indirectly.

Contact with the alleged victims may constitute a new criminal offense with which you could be charged. Furthermore, contact with victims or witnesses will probably be communicated to either the judge or jury and may appear as though you are trying to influence the witness.

* If you make bond.

Contact the Public Defender's Office immediately to give them an address and phone number where you can be reached so you and your Attorney can meet to discuss your case. If your Attorney is not available, you may leave a message with a secretary.

* If you are incarcerated and unable to make bond.

Our office makes every effort to make contact with you within 72 hours of being appointed to your case. Generally, the initial contact is with a trained Paralegal. Please cooperate with this person so that we can begin preparing your case. Your Attorney will meet with you as soon as they can. Designate a relative to act as a contact person with your Attorney. This is an effective way to communicate non-confidential information and will reduce the need for timely jail visits.

* You have a right to a speedy trial.

You must affirmatively exercise your right to a speedy trial. If you wish to have a speedy trial, you should communicate that to your Attorney on your first visit. If you are incarcerated, a speedy trial request requires that your trial commence within 70 days from the date your request is presented to the Court. However, certain delays including Court congestion may extend this time limitation. Consult with your Attorney to determine if requesting a speedy trial is in your best interest.

* Maximize your time with your Attorney during your visits.

You need to assist in the preparation of your defense. If you have witnesses, be sure to have their names and a way to contact them. If there are items of evidence (letters, photos, etc.) which may be important to your defense, advise your Attorney or the Paralegal of their existence so that they be preserved.

* You are entitled to have information about your case which your Attorney can provide.

Your Attorney will make personal contact with you when they have important information to discuss or need to work with you in preparation for your trial. Their job does not include visiting you in the jail to keep you company or acting as a messenger service to outside contacts.
