9:30 a.m.     Michael Dean Overstreet v. State of Indiana

Overstreet was convicted of the rape and murder of an eighteen-year-old college student, and was sentenced to death by the Johnson Superior Court following a jury trial. In this mandatory direct appeal, Overstreet argues, among other issues, that the trial court erred in admitting certain DNA evidence, that the evidence is insufficient to support the convictions, and that the death sentence is inappropriate.
