Indiana Supreme Court
The following opinions were issued after IL deadline Tuesday.

William Clyde Gibson III v State of Indiana

22S00-1206-DP-00360.
Criminal. Affirms death sentence for William Clyde Gibson in murder of Stephanie Kirk, finding the trial court did not err and the sentence is not inappropriate.

In RE the Custody of M.B. B/N/F S.C. and D.C. v S.B. and S.W.
65S04-1604-MI-00180
Miscellaneous. Reverses and remands decision to Posey Circuit Court, holding aunt and uncle had standing to file a custody suit while the child and mother were subject to a child in need of services case at the same time in the same court.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Michael Garrison and Janet Garrison v. Elesha Ford and United Farm Family Mutual Insurance Company

49A05-1512-CT-02120
Civil tort. Reverses and remands change of venue from Marion County to Johnson County after the Garrisons filed a complaint against another when they were in an auto accident in Johnson County. Marion County is a preferred venue because it’s the location of the insurer, and convenience doesn’t trump precedence in determining preferred venue.
