20A-CR-1221
Criminal. Affirms Brandon McFadden’s 4½-year sentence with one year suspended for conviction of Level 5 felony domestic battery by means of a deadly weapon. Finds that the Lake Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in its consideration of aggravating circumstances.
Alan Ocampo v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A-CR-584
Criminal. Affirms Alan Ocampo’s sentence for conviction of Level 5 felony battery by means of a deadly weapon and Level 5 felony battery resulting in serious bodily injury, among other offenses. Finds Ocampo failed to demonstrate that the trial court erred in vacating his conviction for battery by means of a deadly weapon, but agrees with the State remands the sentencing order to the Tippecanoe Superior Court for technical corrections.
Daniel S. Hamm v. Leah M. Brown (mem. dec.)
20A-JP-920
Juvenile paternity. Reverses the Hendricks Circuit Court’s order determining Daniel Hamm’s monthly payment on a child support arrearage. Finds that father has made a prima facie showing that the court’s order that he pay $200 per month denied him the means of self-support at a subsistence level. Remands, instructing the trial court is not required to order payment in the amount of $100 per month as requested by father and in its discretion may hold a hearing to accept additional evidence on the matter. Judge Patricia Riley concurs in part, dissents in part with opinion.
