22A-EV-2459

In re the Termination of the Parent-Child Relationship of J.B. (Minor Child) and W.B. (Father) W.B. (Father) v. Indiana Department of Child Services (mem. dec.)
22A-JT-2232
Juvenile termination of parental rights. Affirms the termination of father W.B.’s parental rights to J.B. Finds the Posey Superior Court did not err when it concluded there is a reasonable probability that the conditions leading to J.B.’s removal will not be remedied. Also finds the totality of the evidence supports the trial court’s conclusion that termination of W.B.’s parental rights is in J.B.’s best interests.
Perry O. Jones v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-PC-2213
Post-conviction. Affirms the denial of Perry Jones’ petition for post-conviction relief. Finds the post-conviction court did not err in finding that the state sufficiently proved Jones’ 24-year delay in filing his PCR petition was unreasonable, or in finding that the state sufficiently proved it was prejudiced by that unreasonable delay.
