Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

In the Int. of: E.D.A. III, Minor; Apl. of: T.M.A.

Summary

Justice Donohue dissents from the majority’s dismissal of the appeal, arguing that the trial court failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden required for termination of parental rights. She contends the court relied on a single caseworker’s uncorroborated testimony despite contradictory competent evidence, and urges vacating the lower courts’ decisions and remanding for a proper evidentiary analysis.
