Ind. Courts - "Special prosecutor: No criminal charges against McKinney"
Joy Leiker reports today in the Muncie Star-Press:
MUNCIE — A special prosecutor has cleared Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney of any criminal wrongdoing in his handling of drug forfeiture cases.Monroe County Prosecutor Barry S. Brown issued his findings today and said McKinney will not face criminal charges.
“There appears to have been a good faith effort by Mark McKinney to comply with the Indiana legislative statutory provisions as well as adhere to the practices and protocols of asset forfeiture as they existed in Delaware County at the time Mark McKinney served as deputy prosecuting attorney and prosecutor,” Brown wrote. * * *
Still pending is yet another separate review, by the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, which is considering a complaint about McKinney's handling of DTF cases filed by [Muncie Mayor Sharon McShurley].
