Indiana Court of Appeals
David C. Wanke Sr. v. State of Indiana
23A-CR-2423
Criminal. Reverses David C. Wanke Sr.’s convictions for Level 1 felony child molesting and his adjudication as a habitual offender. Finds the Knox Superior Court’s admission of N.W.’s out-of-court statements to Nurse Courtney Benson to be erroneous. Also finds the trial court erred when it permitted Benson to testify to N.W.’s statements and that retrial is not prohibited. Remands for further proceedings.
