B K, et al. v. State of Indiana
── B K, et al. v. State of Indiana ──
Case No.: 23S-JV-00344
Court: Indiana Supreme Court
Date: June 18, 2024
Author: Justice Christopher Goff
County of Origin: Hendricks
Category: Juvenile
Decision: Reversed and Remanded
Justice Rush and Justice Molter concur. Justice Massa and Justice Slaughter concur in part/dissent in part
In the summer of 2022, two cousins visiting from Illinois, 17-year-old
B.K. and 15-year-old S.K. (or the Juveniles), threw stolen fireworks into a
Costco trash bin, starting a fire that resulted in property damage. The
Juveniles each ultimately admitted to one delinquent act of criminal
mischief while the State dismissed its allegations of theft. The State did not
request probation, citing the Juveniles’ out-of-state residency and
acknowledging that neither of them posed a risk of drug use.
