Indiana Court of Appeals
Brian
S. Adcock v. State of Indiana
47A01-0912-CR-591
Criminal. Affirms convictions of two counts of Class A felony child molesting, two counts of Class B felony sexual misconduct
with a minor, and finding that Adcock is a repeat sexual offender. The trial court didn’t err in permitting the prosecutor
to analogize the standard of proof to a jigsaw puzzle during voir dire or in allowing the state to amend the repeat sexual
offender notice.

C. Regalado v. Estate of Joseph Regalado and Paula Heffelfinger
64A05-0911-CV-672
Civil. Reverses trial court grant of summary judgment that Heffelfinger is Joseph Regalado’s half-sister. Holds that
a child must show she is a child born out of wedlock before I.C. Section 29-1-2-7 is applicable and that there is a genuine
issue of material fact as to whether Paula is a child born out of wedlock. Also holds that Joseph’s father’s acknowledgment
of Paula as his biological daughter in the Agreed Order of Annulment does not preclude Joseph’s father or any other
heir from challenging his paternity of Paula. Remands for further proceedings.
Michael
Butler v. State of Indiana
49A02-0904-CV-343
Civil. Reverses denial of Butler’s pro se motions to set aside default judgment against him for operating a truck in
a restricted lane on a highway consisting of at least three lanes, and for speeding, both as civil infractions. Butler engaged
in no “foot dragging” or other behavior seeking to delay the process and attempted to immediately address the
effects of his absence from the March 16 hearing. Procedural issues also interfered with his ability to obtain a hearing.
Remands with instructions to set a new trial date.
