Ind. Courts - Still more on "Lawyer ordered before judge on contempt issue"
Updating this ILB entry from August 8th, Bill Engle of the Richmond Palladium-Item reports today:
Indianapolis attorney Sarah Nagy has once again asked a Wayne County judge to drop a civil contempt charge against her. But this time she's backing it up with cash and the promise of community service.The Pal-Item also includes a link to request filed with the court.Nagy this week filed a request asking Wayne County Superior Court 2 Judge Gregory Horn drop a contempt allegation against her, adding that she has already made two donations to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County totaling $350.
She also pledged to do 25 hours of volunteer service at the Richard E. Jeffers Boys & Girls Club or at the Boys & Girls Club at Central United Methodist Church in Richmond. She offered to do the community service on or before Oct. 30.
Horn had not ruled on the request Wednesday. Instead, Horn gave Wayne County Deputy Prosecutor William Hoelscher until today to file a written objection to Nagy's request.
Horn had set a hearing for Monday in the contempt case against Nagy. Horn declined to comment on Nagy's request Wednesday.
Nagy, who represented Charles "C.J." Kennedy during a four-week trial in 2008, faced the civil contempt-of-court charge for allegedly not complying with Horn's order that she make a contribution to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County.
Horn admonished Nagy at the end of the Kennedy trial in May for repeatedly being tardy during the trial and offered her the option of paying a fine or making a donation to the local charity. Nagy has said she made the contribution to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
