Ind. Courts - "Madison Co. prosecutor denies alleged misconduct"
An AP story today begins:
ANDERSON, Ind. - Madison County Prosecutor Thomas J. Broderick Jr. denies that he committed misconduct when he got a criminal charge dismissed against his son before he took office.The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission alleges that Broderick committed professional misconduct by failing to tell Indiana authorities that his son had previously been arrested in Florida when he entered him in a court deferral program.
A hearing was set for Wednesday in Grant Superior Court 1.
The complaint filed in October alleges that Broderick failed to disclose the previous arrest when he signed a deferral agreement with the Delaware County prosecutor's office in 2003 after his son Evan Broderick was arrested on a drunken driving charge. After completing terms of the agreement, Evan Broderick was never charged.
