Jane Doe v. Adams County Department of Child Protection Services, by Marcus D. Davenport, and Karen Doe, a Minor, by…

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the Adams County Youth Court's denial of Jane Doe's motions to transfer venue and to recuse the trial judge. The Court held that venue was proper in Adams County because the child's custodian resided there and the child was present when the intake report was made, and that recusal was unnecessary since the judge lacked personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts.
