Civil tort. Reverses the Benton Circuit Court’s grant of partial summary judgment in favor of Indiana State Police Trooper Martin Benner in Bryce A.

49A04-1709-PC-2143
Post-conviction. Affirms the denial of Steven Robbins’ petition for post-conviction relief in Marion Superior Court, finding he did not receive ineffective assistance of trial counsel.
