Indiana Court of Appeals
Miguel Cruz Luna v. State of Indiana
No. 26A-CR-976
Appeal from the Porter Superior Court, Judge Michael A. Fish. A jury found Miguel Cruz Luna guilty of Level 5 felony strangulation, Level 6 felony domestic battery, and Class A misdemeanor intimidation. Luna argued that the trial court erred in admitting certain testimony and that the evidence was insufficient for his domestic battery conviction. The court affirmed Luna’s convictions, concluding that any error in the admission of testimony regarding domestic violence was harmless given the significant corroborating evidence against him. The evidence, including the victim’s testimony and photos of her injuries, supported the convictions. Judge Bailey authored the opinion, with Judges Bradford and Altice concurring. Attorney for appellant: James E. Harper, Harper & Harper LLC, Valparaiso. Attorneys for appellee: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Christopher Payton v. Derek Fell, in his official capacity as Sheriff of Vigo Co.
No. 26A-CT-118
Appeal from Vigo Superior Court, Special Judge Robert A. Pell. The court affirmed the trial court’s order that granted Sheriff Fell’s motion to set aside a default judgment. Payton argued that the trial court abused its discretion; however, the court found that the chaotic transition period following the death of Sheriff Plasse constituted excusable neglect. It emphasized the preference for resolving cases on their merits and noted the significant loss Sheriff Fell would suffer if the judgment was not set aside, while Payton would incur considerably less loss if the case was reinstated. The court determined that Sheriff Fell demonstrated excusable neglect and a meritorious defense. Judge Pyle authored the opinion, with Judges May and Scheele concurring. Appellant attorneys: Rachel O. Webster, Bradley C. Lohmeier, Saeed & Little LLP, Indianapolis. Appellee attorney: David P. Friedrich, Wilkinson, Goeller, Modesitt, Wilkinson & Drummy, Terre Haute.
