71A03-1510-PL-1820
Civil plenary.

Joshua Perry Cruse v. C.C.
41A01-1512-PO-2345
Protective order. Reverses protective order preventing Cruse from contact with his ex-wife except to communicate regarding their children. Majority holds that the evidence was insufficient to prove that Cruse stalked his ex-wife or that his conduct would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened. Judge Edward Najam dissents, writing that Cruse’s conduct of confronting his ex-wife’s friend while holding a baseball bat after his son’s baseball game and other behaviors met C.C.’s burden of proof of a preponderance of the evidence.
Jessi Apollos v. State of Indiana
49A04-1601-CR-15

Apollos and Francois both understood that they had agreed that Apollos would live in Francois’ residence in exchange for money and/or childcare services. Remands with instructions to vacate the conviction.
