Indiana Supreme Court had posted no opinions at IL deadline.

Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of: A.C. v. State of Indiana

49A04-0912-JV-682
Juvenile. Reverses adjudication for committing what would be Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement if committed by
an adult. A.C.’s simple failure to stand, without more, amounts to passive inaction and seems analogous to the failure
to present one’s arms for handcuffing, which the Indiana Supreme Court has said does not constitute forcible resistance.

Leroy
Jones v. State of Indiana

27A02-1002-CR-168
Criminal. Reverses convictions of two counts of dealing in cocaine, one as a Class A felony and one as a Class B felony.
The evidence was not sufficient to prove Greentree was a family housing complex on the day in question and the jury could
not have so found. Because the trial court erroneously instructed the jury as to the meaning of “family housing complex,”
Jones’s dealing conviction under Count 1 was enhanced via a statute that, after the acts were committed, changed the
elements of the crime with which he was charged. Remands for the Class A felony to be entered as a Class B felony and to re-sentence
him consistent with the opinion.

A. Balasquide v. State of Indiana (NFP)

49A02-0912-CR-1238
Criminal. Affirms convictions of Class A felony child molesting and Class B felony incest.

G. Leonard v. United Farm Family Mutual, et al. (NFP)
