State v. Lori T.

Summary

The court held that the custodial-interference statute was not unconstitutionally vague as applied to the defendant because its prohibition on refusing to return a child encompasses both an express refusal and a failure to take reasonable steps after the lawful custodian requests the child's return. The court also held that the evidence permitted the jury to find that the defendant refused to return the children by deferring to their wishes and taking no meaningful action to facilitate their return. The judgment affirming the convictions was affirmed.
