Indiana Court of Appeals
William Hurst v. State of Indiana
49A02-1004-CR-378
Criminal. Affirms denial of motion to suppress evidence obtained upon the execution of a search warrant.

A texted photo to Thomas corroborated the hearsay and there was sufficient evidence to support a finding of probable cause.

St. Mary Medical Center v. Marsha Bakewell
45A03-1004-CT-227
