Kristopher M. Wainscott v. State of Indiana
22A-CR-1817
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Kristopher Wainscott’s motion to suppress all evidence derived from the search warrant for his phone. Finds the warrant had already been executed by the seizure of the phone when the alleged victim partially recanted her allegations against Wainscott, so the state had no obligation to inform the magistrate judge of the partial recantation.
Porfirio Marin v. State of Indiana
22A-PC-3006
Post-conviction relief. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s denial of Porfirio Marin’s petition for post-conviction relief. Finds that by pleading guilty, Marin waived the right to challenge his conviction on the ground that he reasonably believed S.D. had been 16 years old on the date in question. Also finds Marin has failed to demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel.
