State v. Jones, 21S-CR-50, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind., June 22, 2021).

June 28, 2021 Filed Under: Criminal Tagged With: L. Rush, Supreme

An informant’s identity is inherently revealed through their physical appearance at a face-to-face interview. Thus, when a defendant requests such an interview, the State has met its threshold burden to show the informer’s privilege applies.

State v. Timbs, 20S-MI-289, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind., June 10, 2021).

June 14, 2021 Filed Under: Criminal Tagged With: G. Slaughter, L. Rush, M. Massa, Supreme

The excessiveness test announced in State v. Timbs, 134 N.E.3d 12 (Ind. 2019), has two dimensions: instrumentality and proportionality. Instrumentality is not at issue in here because Timbs acknowledged that he used the forfeited vehicle to traffic heroin. As to proportionality, courts must look to whether the forfeiture is grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the offenses and the claimant’s culpability. This inquiry turns on three factors: the culpability of the claimant for misusing the forfeited property, the harshness of the forfeiture, and the gravity of the claimant’s underlying offenses.

Harris v. State, 20S-CR-546, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind., Mar. 24, 2021).

March 29, 2021 Filed Under: Criminal, Juvenile Tagged With: L. Rush, Supreme

Although Indiana Rule of Evidence 615(c) is the proper vehicle to permit a parent-witness to remain in the courtroom despite a separation-of witnesses order, the exception is not automatic; child defendants must still affirmatively show their parent’s presence is “essential.”

Hartman v. BigInch Fabricators & Construction Holding Co., Inc., No. 20S-PL-00618, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind., Jan. 28, 2021).

February 1, 2021 Filed Under: Civil Tagged With: L. Rush, Supreme

Parties’ freedom to contract may permit “minority” and “marketability” discounts for valuing corporate shares even for shares in a closed-market transaction.

Doe v. Carmel Operator, LLC, No. 21S-CT-15, __ N.E.3d __ (Ind., Jan. 15, 2020).

January 19, 2021 Filed Under: Civil Tagged With: L. Rush, Supreme

Equitable estoppel can be applied only if three elements are shown: lack of knowledge, reliance, and prejudicial effect. The Court declines to adopt alternative theories for equitable estoppel.
