Ind. Courts - "Settlement ends ongoing DTF forfeiture litigation"
Updating this ILB entry from Feb. 2th headed "Two stories today in continuing, and confusing, Delaware County saga," it seems there is a truce, of sorts, in the Delaware County saga involving the prosectuor, the mayor, and the judge.
Rick Yencer reports in the Muncie Star-Press in a story that begins:
Delaware Circuit Court 2 Judge Richard Dailey agreed Thursday to rescind all repayment orders and dismissed all civil drug forfeiture actions a week after the Indiana Court of Appeals stopped further court proceedings.Dailey’s action, after a year of litigation, criminal accusations and the demise of the local drug task force, came by agreement from Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney, Mayor Sharon McShurley and the Delaware County commissioners, led by President Todd Donati.
Dailey declined comment about the order, which has no effect on investigations or proceedings before the Indiana Supreme Court disciplinary commission into possible ethical misconduct by McKinney or a special prosecutor’s inquiry in alleged crimes involving the prosecutor and DTF.
