Ind. Courts - "Fight delays manslaughter trial"
Rebecca S. Green of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported early this afternoon in a brief story that begins:
A fistfight at the doors to an Allen County courtroom Monday morning caused a five-month delay in a voluntary manslaughter trial scheduled for this week.More details will be posted in tomorrow's JG, but the reporter notes: "Because of the commotion, Allen Superior Judge John Surbeck postponed the trial until mid-January."The melee sent three people to the hospital and led to the arrests of four men listed as witnesses in the case. A court security officer also was inadvertently shot in the face with pepper spray as he attempted to help break up the fight.
