Marion County prosecutors have backlog of 194 pending murder trials- despite pair of convictions Wednesday night

INDIANAPOLIS — Marion County prosecutors secure a pair of murder convictions Wednesday night as they begin to dig out from a massive backlog of cases.

That court backlog also doesn’t include delays in trials for robberies, rapes and other violent crimes.

“You know typically we could do 10 trials a day at the City County Building and now we’re lucky to do 2 or 3 a week,” said Mears.

James Brian Chadwell was arrested last week after he lured the girl into his home to pet his dogs and then beat and sexually assaulted her, according to court documents obtained by FOX59 Indianapolis.

Man fined $12m for police station arson during George Floyd protests

According to prosecutors, Robinson lit a Molotov cocktail which another person then threw at the Minneapolis Third Precinct headquarters – setting the building ablaze.

Surveillance video at the precinct shows Robinson lighting an “incendiary device” held by another person and later setting a fire inside the station near a first floor stairwell, officials said.

Michael Paul, of the FBI’s Minneapolis field office in a statement, insists the high fine is fair.

“The danger posed by the defendant in this case was very real,” he said.

The sentencing “sends a clear message” that when someone conducts a violent act that breaks federal law, they will be held accountable, Mr Paul said.

Oregon city issues emergency declaration to fight liberal governor’s COVID edicts. Now other local governments are asking them how they did it.

“After we got no response from the governor,” McQuisten told PJ Media, “we brought forth the Emergency Declaration, and batted the language back and forth for a couple of weeks.”

That led to the emergency declaration the city council passed March 23. The declaration cites Brown’s “arbitrary, ineffective, and draconian” executive orders and the lack of legal ability the city has to “flout” the mandates, which keeps the municipality from defending local businesses.

It also notes that “that neither city, county nor state government has the legal right to flout the Oregon State Constitution or the United States Constitution” and that “our citizens are fully capable of making their private, individual healthcare and lifestyle decisions themselves.”

Yale Doctor: ’DIFFERENT MOTIVATIONS’ for government’s COVID vaccine push?

As an an epidemiology professor at the Yale School of Public Health, Dr. Harvey Risch is more than qualified when it comes to the COVID pandemic.

He tells Glenn the ‘tables have flipped’ since many Americans now seem more concerned with ridiculing those not planning to receive the vaccine than discussing the actual science behind it.

So, what do the statistics show? Dr. Risch argues we’ve entered into a vaccine ‘mania’ in which there seems to be a ‘different motivation’ than just vaccinating for health benefits alone.
