Ind. Courts - More on: Two stories today in continuing, and confusing, Delaware County saga
Updating this ILB entry from Feb. 28th, Rick Yencer reports today under the headline "Indiana appeals court blocks McKinney contempt hearing." Some quotes:
That means Dailey will not conduct a hearing, set for today, on a request by attorneys for Mayor Sharon McShurley's administration that McKinney and Deputy Prosecutor Eric Hoffman be found in contempt of court.
The request was based on the prosecutors' failure to pay a $232,112 judgment, issued by Dailey, as reimbursement for legal fees and other money stemming from drug forfeiture cases.
The stay of all proceedings by Dailey -- in an order signed Thursday by John G. Baker, chief judge of the Court of Appeals -- indicates that any future hearings on law enforcement costs, non-cash assets and other forfeiture cares will remain on hold, subject to appellate court rulings on appeals of Dailey's earlier rulings.
