Indiana Court of Appeals
Douglas Hicks v. Rebecca Hicks
No. 25A-DC-2054
Appeal from the Wayne Circuit Court, Judge April R. Drake. Douglas Hicks appeals the trial court’s dissolution of his marriage to Rebecca Hicks, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in dividing the marital estate. The court found that the division was inequitable, as it awarded a slight advantage to husband based solely on income disparities, failing to address all statutory factors for such a division. The appellate court ruled that the trial court’s plan for handling the marital residence, contingent on its sale, would result in the husband receiving only 4% of the marital estate if sold, which the appellate court found to be clearly erroneous. The appellate court thus reversed the trial court’s decision and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Chief Judge Tavitas authored the opinion, with Judges Weissmann and Foley concurring. Appellant’s attorneys: Alexander N. Moseley and Adrian Deneen, Dixon & Moseley P.C., Indianapolis, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Christopher T. Armour, BBFCS Attorneys, Richmond, Indiana.

Indiana Court of Appeals
DeJuan Lamar Kelley v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-1454
Appeal from the Monroe Circuit Court, Judge Valeri Haughton. DeJuan Kelley, after facing a mistrial in his first murder trial, was retried and convicted of reckless homicide and carrying a handgun without a license. Kelley appealed, arguing that his retrial violated procedural double jeopardy and that the trial court abused its discretion in sentencing him. The court affirmed the trial’s judgment, finding that the mistrial was justified by manifest necessity due to defense counsel’s improper remarks, which violated the court’s order in limine against character evidence. The court held that Kelley’s retrial did not violate double jeopardy principles. Additionally, Kelley’s challenge to his sentencing was deemed moot as he had already served his sentence. Chief Judge Tavitas authored the opinion, with Judge Foley concurring and Judge Weissmann dissenting, critiquing the majority’s justification for the mistrial. Appellant’s attorney: Rachel M. Rogers, Monroe County Public Defender, Bloomington, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General
