Description
1 The sole issue in this termination of parental rights appeal is whether the guardian ad litem violated the motion in limine order prohibiting questioning of witnesses focusing on the best interests of the child (an issue appropriate at the disposition phase rather than the "grounds for termination" phase). The circuit court sustained all objections to questions of that nature but, rather than granting a mistrial motion, directed the jury to disregard all such questions and responsive answers. Grounds for terminating the rights of the natural father, Justin E. H., to his natural son, Breyden, were found by the jury and, after the disposition phase, his rights were terminated. He appeals, claiming that the guardian ad litems disregard of the motion in limine order prejudiced him, that the curative instruction did not resolve the prejudice, and that he should get a new trial. We hold that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion in deciding the matter as it did. We affirm.
