In re Maybell E.

In consolidated appeals, respondent argued that the trial court erred when it found him unfit and when it terminated his parental rights following a best interest hearing. The appellate court reversed, finding that the State did not prove by clear and convincing evidence any of the alleged grounds of unfitness at a prove-up hearing and that the trial court’s finding was against the manifest weight of the evidence. (CATES and BOIE, concurring)
