Overview: Removal statute, Ind. Code § 29-1-10-6, did not apply when court replaced decedent's former wife with his widow as special administrator of his estate; court only reconsidered its first ruling, as it had power and discretion to do in pending cases. As former wife was appointed ex parte, four days after the death, court did not abuse its discretion.

Overview: Hearsay statements did not show informant's credibility under Ind. Code § 35-33-5-2(b)(1); they were not declarations against penal interest when he faced no prosecution. No probable cause thus existed, but evidence seized under a search warrant was wrongly suppressed; officers relied on warrant in objective good faith under Ind. Code § 35-37-4-5.

Overview: Evidence of a dog's starved appearance, injured leg, and frost bitten extremities was sufficient to allow the trial judge to infer that defendant failed to feed and care for the dog; the burden of proof was not shifted when the trial court commented that the State proved its case before the defense was presented.
