Indiana Court of Appeals
Kelly L. Gillespie v. State of Indiana
23A-PC-2494
Post conviction relief. Reverses the Orange Circuit Court’s denial of Kelly Gillespie’s petition for post conviction relief after he was convicted of Level 4 felony possession of methamphetamine, Level 6 felony maintaining a common nuisance, and Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Finds Gillespie’s counsel’s errors are sufficient to undermine the appellate court’s confidence in the verdict rendered in this case.  Also finds Gillespie has shown the evidence leads unerringly and unmistakably to a conclusion opposite that reached by the post conviction court. Remands the case for a new trial.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Brian A. Batta v. Christina S. Batta
24A-DR-192
Domestic relations. Reverses the Tippecanoe Superior Court’s order determining the amount of Brian Batta’s child support arrearage. Finds the trial court erred in denying Batta a credit against his existing support arrearage for the lump-sum payments of retroactive Social Security Disability benefits and for all of the periodic SSD benefit payments received to date by his children or by Christina Batta on their behalf. Remands for further proceedings and a new order calculating the father’s current arrearage.
