James Robert Minor v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)

Criminal. Affirms James Robert Minor’s convictions of Level 1 felony child molesting, Level 4 felony child molesting and Level 6 felony dissemination of matter harmful to minors and his 41-year sentence. Finds Time is not a material element of Minor’s offenses. Also finds Minor’s child molesting convictions do not violate double jeopardy principles. Finally, finds Minor’s sentence is supported by multiple unchallenged aggravating circumstances.

Matthew J. Surburg v. Shannon G. Stoops (mem. dec.)

Civil tort. Affirms the denial of Dr. Matthew J. Surburg’s motion for summary judgment asserting he did not cause the injuries alleged in Shannon G. Stoops’ medical malpractice claim.

22A-CR-1426
