Ind. Courts - More on "Haughee's appeals all are denied"
Updating this ILB entry from July 2, Bob Kasarda of the NWI Times reports today in a story that ebgins:
VALPARAISO | Former Hebron Town Council President Michael Haughee failed again Thursday to persuade a judge to allow him to bond out of jail in order to pursue an appeal of his sexual assault conviction.Yet he said the loss is one for all inmates at the Porter County Jail.
Haughee, who is a suspended attorney and former Lake County deputy prosecutor, argued he should be released in part because the jail, unlike the Indiana Department of Correction, does not provide inmates access to law books.
"I've been denied that right," he said. "Porter County is not an island. It's not a gulag."
