M H v. State of Indiana

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that a new jurisdictional rule announced after a juvenile delinquency adjudication does not apply retroactively to collaterally attack the final adjudication unless the jurisdictional error compromised the reliability or fairness of the proceedings. Because the juvenile’s proceeding was procedurally fair and the competing interests in finality and efficient administration of justice were substantial, the Court affirmed denial of relief under Trial Rule 60(B)(6).
