Ind. Courts - Still more on: Special prosecutor named in attorney's fatal DUI case
Updating this entry from Oct. 27, 2007, the Indianapolis Star has a brief report today:
A recent ruling by a Marion Superior Court judge likely will result in the dismissal of one of two major charges against a former state attorney accused of driving drunk before a fatal wreck.Terry Record, 28, is set to go on trial July 28 on multiple counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and reckless homicide. He is accused of drinking heavily at a strip club in May 2007 before a crash that killed the other driver, Jimmy R. Cash, 46.
Special Prosecutor Barry Brown later filed a new charge of operating a motor vehicle with marijuana detected in the blood, causing death, a Class B felony.
But Friday, Judge Grant Hawkins granted a defense motion to suppress a chemical test that detected signs of marijuana in Record's blood. He ruled a new search warrant was required to perform the test. Brown said he has not decided whether to dismiss that charge or appeal the ruling.
