Indiana Court of Appeals
Steven B. Steele v. State of Indiana
49A05-1202-CR-54
Criminal. Affirms denial of motion to suppress. Evidence Rule 617 does not apply in this case because the police officer’s
interrogation of Steele did not occur in a place of detention. The rule also does not explicitly or implicitly impose an affirmative
duty on law enforcement officers to transport a person to a place of detention before conducting a custodial interrogation.
Deborah A. Cleveland, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Robin W. Cleveland v. Clarian Health
Partners, Inc.
49A02-1110-CT-948
Civil tort. Affirms denial of Cleveland’s motion to correct error and for relief from judgment on her malpractice complaint.
Cleveland may argue surprise in a witness’s purported change in testimony for the first time on appeal, but based on
the facts of the case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying her motion to correct error or for relief from
judgment. Cannot say on this record that a doctor’s trial testimony was so different from her deposition testimony that
it invoked any duty on the party of Clarian to amend under Trial Rule 26(E)(2) or that Clarian committed misconduct under
Trial Rule 60(B)(3).
Billy G. Ray v. Connie A. Ray (NFP)
41A05-1203-DR-130
Domestic relation. Reverse court order with respect to the amount of Billy Ray’s child support obligation and remands
for the court to hold a new hearing to determine his obligation, and whether Connie Ray is entitled to attorney fees for this
appeal. Affirms denial of Billy Ray’s petition to modify custody and the court’s decision to modify his parenting
time.
David J. Morton v. State of Indiana (NFP)
10A05-1202-CR-63
Criminal. Affirms conviction and sentence for Class B felony burglary.














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.
