Ind. Law - Yet more on: "Lawyer says driver is devastated by shooting: Woman had no choice, he said"

Updating this ILB entry from yesterday, Harold J. Adams of the Louisville Courier Journal reports today that:

The driver who shot an Indiana motorcyclist in what police called a road-rage incident testified yesterday before a Clark Circuit Court grand jury that is reviewing the incident for possible criminal charges. * * *

[Driver Yolanda] Parrish has told police that [motorcyclist Wesley] Mosier tried to hit her and that she fired in self-defense.

Butler said yesterday the incident and its aftermath are taking a toll on Parrish.

"This is a 39-year-old lady that doesn't even have a traffic ticket," he said. "… It's weighing on her mind as heavily as you can imagine."

Parrish's 15-year-old son, who was with his mother at the time of the shooting, also testified yesterday. At least one witness told police the teen got out of the car after the shooting and kicked and yelled at Mosier.
