Ind. Courts - "Time might not be on Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney's side"
So announces the Muncie Star-Press in what appears to be a "teaser" leading to an "in print only" story. It continues:
And neither is an ex-colleague who hopes to win McKinney's job in the 2010 county election.Supporters of the beleaguered prosecutor are presumably praying the Indiana Supreme Court acts soon on a proposed deal -- stemming from a disciplinary complaint filed by Mayor Sharon McShurley -- that calls for McKinley's license to practice law to be suspended for 90 days.
It's been 111 days since that proposed settlement was submitted to the Supreme Court for its consideration.
If the court does not act in the case in the relatively near future -- and presuming it accepts the 90-day suspension, now seen as a best-case-scenario for McKinney -- the prosecutor could face the grim prospect of mounting a re-election campaign while under a suspension.
