Indiana Court of Appeals
Jonathan Grott, Sr. v. State of Indiana
64A04-1408-CR-395
Criminal. Affirms conviction of Class D felony auto theft. There is sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction, which stems from Grott’s failure to return a rental car on a specific date.

Leonard L. Suggs v. State of Indiana
02A03-1412-CR-440
Criminal. Affirms convictions of domestic battery and battery, both as Level 6 felonies. There is evidence to support that Suggs and his girlfriend were living as if they were spouses, supporting the domestic battery conviction; and his battery conviction is upheld because a reasonable juror could infer the other victim is a family or household member of Suggs.
