State of Indiana v. John B. Larkin

Robb, Judge.

Case Summary and Issues

Following the death of Stacey Larkin in 2012, the State charged her husband, John, with voluntary manslaughter as a Class A felony. In 2016, Larkin moved for discharge and dismissal, each of which the trial court granted. The State now appeals, raising two issues for our review, which we restate as: 1) whether the trial court erred *239in 'granting Larkin’s motion for discharge, and 2) whether the trial court erred in granting Larkin’s motion to dismiss. Concluding the trial court did not err in granting either motion, we affirm.
