The petitioner, Mark Alan Deakins, pled guilty in the Hamilton County Criminal Court to especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, and statutory rape and received an effective eleven-year sentence to be served as one year in jail and the remainder on probation.

Defendant James David Lamor Perry was convicted of two counts of possession of cocaine, more than .5 grams, within 1000 feet of a school, and one count of possession of marijuana. Defendant was fined and sentenced to 20 years on each cocaine possession count and to 6 months on the marijuana count, all sentences to run concurrently. On this direct appeal Defendant now raises numerous challenges to his convictions, including issues regarding the constitutionality and interpretation of the Drug-Free School Zone Act.
