In re M.E.
Annotate this CaseIn 2014, the trial court terminated Father’s rights to his child after finding all four grounds of parental unfitness. Father moved for a new trial and to set aside the termination judgment. The trial court denied the motions. Father appealed, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the trial court’s finding of one ground of parental unfitness and arguing that the court and all persons and entities involved in his case demonstrated prejudice against him based on his national origin and immigration status. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support the court’s findings of parental unfitness on the ground of Father’s unwillingness or inability to protect the child from jeopardy; and (2) the record was devoid of any prejudice argued by Petitioner.
