Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court reversed a lower court judgement against a grandchild who was found guilty of stealing their grandmother's phone. The lower court record did not indicate that any witnesses appeared before the Court to provide testimony to the allegation. Defendant was denied due process of law because there was no sworn testimony or evidence that demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant knowingly, affirmatively committed theft. The Lower court ruling was not supported by the record. Reversed and dismissed.
