The Indiana Court of Appeals will hear arguments tomorrow in a negligence suit filed by parents after their infant died while sleeping on a couch with his mother.
In Alisha Harradon and William Kenneth Jones Jr. v. Kathy and Keith Schlamadinger, No. 75A03-0903-CV-114, parents
Alisha Harradon and William Jones Jr. allege the Schlamadingers' negligence proximately caused the death of their 3-month-old
son.
Harradon and Jones were staying overnight at the Schlamadingers' home; Harradon slept on the couch with the infant, who
suffocated and died. The parents claim the Schlamadingers didn't provide an adequate place for the baby to sleep.
The trial court granted summary judgment for the Schlamadingers. The parents argue on appeal the couple owed a duty to their
son and there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Schlamadingers breached that duty.
Judges James Kirsch, Paul Mathias, and Patricia Riley will hear the arguments scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday in the Indiana
Court of Appeals courtroom. The arguments will be webcast on the COA's Web site.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
