Juventino V. Ramirez v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A-CR-1982
Criminal. Affirms Juventino V. Ramirez’s conviction of Level 4 felony child molesting. Finds the Allen Superior Court’s rulings on Ramirez’s discovery requests were not an abuse of discretion, nor did they violate his constitutional rights. Also finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Ramirez’s motion for a continuance, did not allow him to make an offer of proof of a recording of a forensic interview, allowed a witness to give vouching testimony or in instructing the jury. Finally, finds that even if the trial court abused its discretion in allowing vouching testimony or hearsay, the error was harmless.
