T.W. (Minor Child) v. Indiana Department of Child Services
24A-JC-780
Juvenile CHINS. Affirms the Delaware Circuit Court’s termination of the Indiana Department of Child Services’ wardship of T.W. and the court’s closure of T.W.’s CHINS case. Finds the court’s closure of the CHINS case is a proper dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Also finds the court has statutory authority to reinstate its jurisdiction after the child’s release from the Indiana Department of Correction.
Braven Harris v. State of Indiana
24A-CR-542
Criminal. Affirms Braven Harris’ conviction in Marion Superior Court of murder and his sentence of 60 years in the Indiana Department of Correction. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting the Instagram messages that were found on Harris’ cell phone. Also finds Harris waived his claim regarding allocution by failing to timely object, and the trial court’s failure to ask Harris if he wished to exercise his right of allocution was not fundamental error.
