Juveniles – TPR — sufficiency of the evidence

Melanie M. appeals orders of the circuit court terminating her parental rights to Cayden M., Isaiah M., and Nicholas M. The circuit court terminated her parental rights to the children after a jury found, in the grounds phase of the proceedings, that the children were in continuing need of protection or services. Melanie M. argues that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by failing to consider the unduly prejudicial effect on the jury of foster parent testimony during the grounds phase. I reject her argument, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.

2013AP2814, 2013AP2815 In re the termination of parental rights to Cayden M., et al.
