Dana M. Moyes v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
23A-CR-704
Criminal. Affirms Dana Moyes’ convictions of two counts of neglect of a dependent as a Level 6 felony and her sentence to consecutive terms of 730 days, with 365 days of each suspended. Finds the Pike Circuit Court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded testimony regarding a family case manager’s termination from the Department of Child Services. Also finds the state presented sufficient evidence to support both of Moyes’ convictions. Finally, finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it sentenced Moyes, and her sentence is not inappropriate in light of the nature of the offenses or her character.
