I have written under another topic, but he's what you can find presently:
You can follow the proceedings here, but you don't get much other than the box score: State of Indiana v John Larkin, Felony Manslaughter The court proceedings are not published until months (sometimes years) later and not without the judge's sigh off (which may never come - unless someone asks). If you think there is secrecy in the police department, try the courts! You have to be a member of the bar to get a code for the database. You can request from the Clerk, but you'll have to pay and if the Clerk objects, you have to go see a judge to get them released to you (and you have to have a good reason - that's how the TV shows get them.) As far as I can tell, the Hon. Mary Harper has been appointed, Circuit Court Judge of Porter County. Judge Harper gave an interview here Court Times report on marriage of Judges Harper and Chidester So, Larkin has been able to get all Laporte County judges recused and move the venue - as planned. This takes the case away from our community and deprives the Laporte County citizenry of adjudicating one of its citizens accused of a felony. You cannot believe how rare this is in Indiana - it's like < 0.1% likely, though perhaps more prevalent in "death" cases, but almost exclusively for murder. Never, and I mean never, for manslaughter. For those who thought that voting Republicans into county offices (like judges and prosecutor) would change the system, you are horribly wrong. The system prevails! These guys have no guts at all. Let's see if this wisdom proves better applied on the council. This case is obvious radioactive. (I've been getting some funny looks, too, btw.) "Following the money" is tough - but think about it - 2nd set of lawyers for the felony and the appeals, a set for the custody battle, a set as plaintiff, another for the feds and another for the insurance case - it' adding up. I have to believe that her own insurance money, the house, the kids' educations, anything they had before - it's all gone, so he can walk around free for the last four years. As a neighbor put it to me, "I hope he enjoyed it." |
