[SUPREME] Johnny Webster Brown v. State of Indiana, No. 24S CR 00288

A jury convicted Brown of Class C felony child molesting. Brown moved to correct error, arguing his case fell within a jurisdiction gap between juvenile and adult court. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded with instructions for the trial court to vacate the conviction. Brown v. State, 235 N.E.3d 213 (Ind. Ct. App. 2024), vacated. The Indiana Supreme Court has granted the State's petition to transfer and assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.
