Deonta Nelson v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2898
Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Marshelle Dawkins Broadwell. Deonta Nelson appeals his conviction of murder, contending that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting surveillance footage. The court affirms, concluding that the testimony surrounding the surveillance system provided adequate authentication under the silent witness theory, as the system was verified to be reliable and unalterable. Additionally, even if the trial court had erred in admitting the footage, any such error was deemed harmless given the overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness accounts and Nelson’s own admissions. Judge May authored the opinion, and Judges Pyle and Scheele concurred. Appellant’s attorney: Christopher Taylor-Price, Marion County Public Defender Agency, Appellate Division, Indianapolis, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Carey Lee Fleener, Jr. v. State of Indiana
No. 25A-CR-2776
Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Marie L. Kern and Magistrate Heather M. Dean-Barton. Affirming in part and reversing in part, the court upheld Fleener’s conviction for criminal confinement but found his conviction for domestic battery violated substantive double jeopardy principles, thus ordering it vacated. The court determined evidence supported the conviction for criminal confinement, noting Fleener’s actions during a confrontation with his former fiancé, which resulted in bodily injury. In evaluating double jeopardy, the court found Fleener’s conduct during a short timeframe constituted a single transaction, warranting the reversal of the domestic battery conviction. Chief Judge Tavitas authored the opinion, with Judges Weissmann and Foley concurring. Appellant’s attorney: Willow Thomas, Marion County Public Defender Agency, Appellate Division, Indianapolis, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
