Ind. Courts - "State supreme court wants documents about McKinney pay"
A story today in the Muncie Star-Press, reported by Rick Yencer, begins:
MUNCIE — The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission this week subpoenaed city records documenting payment of attorney fees to Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney for civil forfeiture work.The Disciplinary Commission is investigating possible misconduct by the prosecutor in regards to his handling of drug forfeiture cases, based on a misconduct complaint filed with the court by Mayor Sharon McShurley.
The records include invoices for payment and checks issued from city funds to McKinney from Jan. 1, 2000, to the present, according to the subpoena issued to City Controller Mary Ann Kratochvil from Donald Lundberg, executive secretary of the Disciplinary Commission.
Kratochvil said that when she became controller in 2006, she questioned the payments McKinney and Deputy Prosecutor Eric Hoffman received from the city.
