Marquis David Young v. State of Indiana

Court of Appeals of Indiana
N.H. v. State of Indiana
22A-XP-1026
Expungement. Reverses the Elkhart Superior Court’s denial of N.H.’s motion to correct error, filed after the trial court granted his petition to expunge his criminal convictions and arrest records but omitted required language in its order granting expungement. Finds the trial court’s omission of language from Indiana Code § 35-38-9-10(c) in its order granting expungement constituted error. Remands with instructions for the trial court to reissue its order and either include the proper person language it omitted or exclude Paragraph 7 altogether.

Finds the Tippecanoe Superior Court did not abuse its discretion when it provided the jury with a supplemental instruction on possession during deliberations.
