State v. Baker

Dennis Baker (defendant) lived in a single-family zoned home with his wife, their three children, an unrelated woman, and her three children — nine people who functioned as an extended family, sharing meals, prayers, and household expenses — in violation of Plainfield's zoning ordinance capping single-family occupancy at no more than four unrelated adults; Baker was convicted three times for violating the ordinance and appealed to the state supreme court.
