D.W. v. State of Indiana
25S-JV-190
Juvenile. Affirms Marion Superior Court’s adjudication of D.W. as a juvenile. Finds that the juvenile court erred by failing to provide D.W. with a formal reading of rights and dispositional alternatives. Also finds that D.W. did not waive his formal advisement of rights given the juvenile court’s failure to conduct a personal interrogation of D.W. Finally, finds, because D.W.’s substantial rights were not prejudiced under these particular facts, we find the juvenile court’s error was harmless. Attorneys for appellant: Talisha Griffin, Casey Farrington. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Caroline Templeton, Jodi Stein.
