Jasmine Warstler v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-1083
Criminal. Affirms Noble Superior Court Judge Steven Hagen’s order that sanctioned Jasmine Warstler’s attorneys, Helen and Jarvis Newman, for disclosing two rebuttal witnesses on the evening before her jury trial in violation of Indiana Criminal Procedure Rule 2.5. Finds the $883.44 sanction is directly tied to the actual costs incurred and represents a measured response to the discovery violation. Also finds that this sanction is a fair and equitable remedy in this case and thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it sanctioned Warstler’s attorneys. Attorney for appellant: Jessica Merino. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Anwarzai.
