Ind. Courts - "Probe against Judge Scheibenberger dropped "

Kevin Leininger of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reports this afternoon:

Members of the Allen County Election Board have decided not to investigate an anonymous accusation of an Allen Superior Court judge keeping attorneys, defendants and their families waiting for 41 minutes while he campaigned.

A letter requesting investigation that was filed with the election board and the Indiana Supreme Court on Aug. 18 by an attorney who was “unable to identify myself ... for fear of retaliation ... because I regularly appear before this judge” claimed Judge Kenneth Scheibenberger engaged in campaign activities on the public's time and used public computers.

This is a different matter than that before the Indiana Election Commission - see this Aug. 11, 2010 ILB entry for more.
