Indiana Court of Appeals
Deriq Watters v. State of Indiana
34A02-1403-CR-215
Criminal. Reverses revocation of probation. The evidence used to revoke Watters’ probation was inadmissible.
Destination Yachts Inc., and Sheldon Graber v. Jim R. Fine
14A01-1404-SC-188
Small claim. Reverses denial of motion to continue case so Graber’s attorney could be present. Although Fine traveled from Las Vegas for the hearing and returning at a later date may have inconvenienced him, that is not a reason to justify the denial of a continuance where basic rights of representation and defense against a claim are at issue. Remands for further proceedings.
Christopher M. Montgomery v. State of Indiana
49A02-1312-CR-1039
Criminal. Affirms Montgomery’s conviction for murder, reverses conviction of neglect of a dependent as a Class B felony under Count III based on double jeopardy and remands with instructions to enter it as a Class D felony. He should be sentenced to three years thereon, to be served consecutive to his murder conviction under Count I. The post-conviction court erred when it ordered that Montgomery be allowed to bring a second direct appeal and brief an issue which had not been briefed in his initial appeal.
Antwonna Smith v. State of Indiana
49A02-1312-CR-1015
Criminal. Reverses Class D felony conviction of resisting law enforcement and remands for the trial court to enter the conviction as a Class A misdemeanor. As Smith did not inflict or directly cause the officer’s injury, her conviction should not have been enhanced to a felony.
John M. Gresko v. State of Indiana (NFP)
90A04-1404-CR-196
Criminal. Affirms conviction and sentence for Class D felony escape.
