Andre Taylor, a/k/a Robert Davidson v. State of Indiana
49A04-1708-CR-1930
Criminal. Affirms Andre Taylor, a.k.a. Robert Davidson’s, convictions of Level 2 felony burglary and Level 3 felony armed robbery, as well as the finding that he is a habitual offender. Reverses Taylor’s two Level 3 felony criminal confinement convictions due to double jeopardy violations. Finds the Marion Superior Court properly allowed Detective Grant Melton to testify about evidence he recovered from Taylor’s phone by using the “chip-off’ forensic technique. Also finds Taylor’s convictions of burglary and armed robbery do not violate double jeopardy principles. Remands for the trial court to vacate Taylor’s criminal confinement convictions.

29A02-1710-CR-2308

S.T. v. K.D. (mem. dec.)
12A05-1710-PO-2356
Protective order. Affirms the grant of a protective order to K.D. and against S.T. Finds S.T.’s failure to object at trial to the quashing of her subpoena or the striking of her motion to produce evidence, along with her failure to provide an offer of proof about what evidence would have been produced, renders those evidentiary issues unavailable for appeal. Also finds K.D. presented sufficient evidence to prove S.T. stalked her.

84A01-1709-CR-2116
