United States of America v. Adonnis Carswell
20-1036
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Judge Holly A. Brady.
Criminal. Affirms Adonnis Carswell’s convictions of four drug and firearm offenses, including possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Finds that the judge who issued the search warrant intended for Carswell’s home had a reasonable basis for thinking evidence of drug and firearm crimes was likely to be found there. Also finds the prosecution’s closing arguments were not improper, did not make Carswell’s trial unfair and did not deny him due process of law.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Juventino V. Ramirez v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A-CR-1982
Criminal. Affirms Juventino V. Ramirez’s conviction of Level 4 felony child molesting. Finds the Allen Superior Court’s rulings on Ramirez’s discovery requests were not an abuse of discretion, nor did they violate his constitutional rights. Also finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Ramirez’s motion for a continuance, did not allow him to make an offer of proof of a recording of a forensic interview, allowed a witness to give vouching testimony or in instructing the jury. Finally, finds that even if the trial court abused its discretion in allowing vouching testimony or hearsay, the error was harmless.
