A judge swiftly rejected a request Friday from a 27-year-old woman to be moved from the LaPorte County jail to a work release program while her criminal case involving the torture death of her 4-year-old son moves forward.
LaPorte County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Alevizos did not hesitate before rejecting the request from Mary Yoder, which came during a morning status hearing in her case.
The judge was told that the prosecution and defense in the case are continuing to negotiate a potential agreement and a delay was granted until March 10 to see if a trial can be avoided.
Yoder is charged in connection with the torture death of her son, Judah Morgan, whose badly battered and starved body was found at his Hamlet home by officials on Oct. 11, 2021. The boy had reportedly been bound with duct tape, confined in a dark basement for days at a time, beaten and starved.
On hand for Friday's hearing was Knox resident Jenna Hullett, a second cousin to Judah Morgan who had raised the boy for the first several years of his life before the Indiana Department of Child Services ordered him placed with Mary Yoder and Alan Morgan. The boy's tortured body was found dead six months later.
Hullett wore a T-shirt Friday that read "Judah's Army."
Four-year-old Judah Morgan, who was murdered almost two years ago by his father over potty training, was laid to rest this weekend.
His life was tragically cut short in October of 2021, but he was honored this weekend as loved ones planted a tree and placed his ashes at the base of it at Wythogan Park.
Judah's foster mother Jenna Hullett said, "We had him cremated, so I wanted him to have a final resting place and I thought a tree in the park where he spent most of his day happy and running around playing ... I thought that would be the fitting honor for him."
Since Judah's death, the Hullett family has been working with legislators to try and make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
"Judah's Law" was passed in early 2022 to allow unlicensed caregivers, like foster parents, the chance to stop a child form being placed with their biological parents if they pose a threat to the child's safety.
Indiana State Senator Mike Bohacek (R) said, "This is bigger than that. This is a community supported issue and we need to continue to get behind that and we need to continue to carry that forward throughout our judicial system and into our administrative offices at the state level."
Many in Judah's Army feel that even after his death, there still is more awareness to bring to the problem.
The Indiana Court of Appeals has unanimously rejected a request to shorten the 70-year prison term of a rural LaPorte County man convicted last year of torturing to death his four-year-old son.
Alan D. Morgan, 30, pleaded guilty to murder, level 5 felony battery, and level 6 felony resisting law enforcement in connection with a series of 2021 crimes, including leading police on a 119 mph chase, and beating and killing Judah Morgan in the family's Union Township home, according to court records.
In exchange for his guilty plea, court records show prosecutors dismissed additional pending charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a controlled substance, reckless driving, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, neglect of a dependent and cruelty to an animal, among others.
LaPorte Circuit Judge Thomas Alevizos sentenced Morgan on the three remaining charges to 63 years for murder, five years for battery and two years for resisting law enforcement, all served consecutively, for a total prison term of 70 years, records show.
Morgan argued in his appeal that a 70-year sentence was inappropriate in light of the nature of the offense and his character, especially given his guilty plea and relative lack of a prior criminal record.
The appeals court, to put it mildly, was unpersuaded.
Appeals Judge Terry Crone, a South Bend native writing for the court, described Morgan as "truly one of the worst offenders" and said Morgan is "quite fortunate that the trial court did not impose the maximum possible sentence (73.5 years) under the circumstances."
Crone cited court records showing Judah Morgan, with a weight of 36 pounds, was severely malnourished on Oct. 11, 2021, when Alan Morgan punched the child in the stomach and struck him in the head, causing a hemorrhage that led to the boy's death.
In addition, Crone noted the child clearly suffered prior bruising and broken bones, and in the days leading up to his death was punched, kicked and strangled by Alan Morgan while other children were present in the house.
Judah Morgan also was left for extended periods of time naked and alone in a cold and dark basement with concrete floors and no working electricity. Evidence that the child was restrained with duct tape also was found in the basement, Crone said.
"When we look to the nature, extent and depravity of the offenses for which the defendant is being sentenced, and what it reveals about the defendant’s character, we have little difficulty concluding that the 70-year aggregate sentence imposed by the trial court here is in no way inappropriate," Crone said.
Alan Morgan still can ask the Indiana Supreme Court to consider adjusting his prison term. Otherwise, his earliest possible release from incarceration, assuming good behavior, is Oct. 8, 2073, according to the Department of Correction.
The mother of an Indiana boy who was beaten and tortured to death in October 2021 pleaded guilty in connection with his murder in a LaPorte County Circuit Court on Friday.
Mary Yoder, 27, was charged with a neglect of a dependent resulting in death and neglect of a dependent.
She was the biological mother of Judah Morgan, 4, who was found dead on the floor of a home she shared with the boy's father, Alan Morgan, back in October 2021.
Yoder pleaded guilty Friday to both felony counts.
Present in the courtroom for Yoder's guilty plea were Judah's foster family, who are blood relatives to Judah. He spent most of his young life with them before he was found beaten to death in October 2021.
"I wish she'd get more time, but I am glad she's looking at more time than some of these other case's I read about," Jenna Hullett, who was Judah's second cousin and foster mother, told 13News.
I agree with those that said he was fully potty trained when he was returned to his "parents". A lot of children regress when faced with a very stressful event (made to go home with monsters).
If he was having accidents, why not put him in fucking pull ups? Nothing would get ruined, and they make 4t size...
but then they wouldnt have had a chance to torture him.
And if potty training wasn’t an issue, they’d have found another one. Spilled his milk, said the word four wrong, ate too slow, ate too fast, or the worst of all-cried for his real parents.Because they just wanted someone to beat on and Judah was the target.
It easily could have been one of the other children in the home.
Mary Yoder received a 42 year sentence for her inaction which led to the death of 4-year-old Judah Morgan.
The child suffered torture and fatal beatings at the hands of his father, Alan Morgan, who is presently serving a 70-year prison term. Yoder, despite being aware of the abuse, did not intervene to protect her son.
Judah was found deceased in a dark cellar bound in duct tape.
She addressed the court today, saying she missed her “sweet boy, full of joy.” She missed his drawings and his laugh. Yoder said she wished she would have done more to protect him.
The speech drew an intense response from the judge, who picked up an autopsy photo of Judah, pointed it in Yoder’s direction, and said, “Look at him. Unbelievable.”
Judah was placed in foster care at the tender age of four months, and he was reunited with his biological mother at age four.
About seven months after being reunited, Judah was dead.
“We’ve got to do everything we can do for Judah because he’s not here, but he has to have a legacy. His four short little years meant something. I want everyone to know that it was preventable, and people say all the time, ‘If you see something, say something,’ and I said something, and nobody would listen. That’s the problem with this system is they fail these children all the time and then these children grow up and are a productive part of society and they turn into foster parents and they still see the system fail the kids they are fostering,” said Jenna Hullett, the foster mom of Judah.
Hullet is now suing Indiana’s Department of Child Services over the placement.
“They made the decision to put Judah in that home knowing things that were red flags, knowing things that I had told them, knowing Judah had told them, videos that I had sent them of Judah telling me that he was afraid that Mary would hurt him. I have all kinds of evidence to prove that he should have never been placed in that home,” Hullet explained.
