Syllabus

This case involves appeals from two criminal cases. Dismissal of all charges in one case left appellant in the same position as if the charges had not been filed. As a result, appellant's substantial rights were not affected, and no final appealable order existed. Regarding the second criminal case, the police did not recklessly insert information from a recanted story into a probable cause affidavit. The affidavit was prepared and search warrants were issued months before the complainant recanted her story. There was no indication that the police had any idea the recantation would occur. The trial court therefore did not err in refusing to suppress evidence. Finally, appellant's sufficiency and manifest weight challenges are without merit. Judgment affirmed in Clark C.P. No. 2021-CR-592. Appeal from Clark C.P. No. 2021-CR-369 dismissed for lack of a final appealable order.
