Ind. Courts - Still more on: Report issued Monday by Delaware Circuit 2 Judge Richard Dailey
Updating this ILB entry from yesterday, today's Muncie Star-Press story is headlined "Report brings secret deal to light: Prosecutor Mark McKinney denies that justice was ever for sale." The story by Rick Yencer begins:
MUNCIE -- Justice was never for sale, Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney maintained Thursday, in a response to a pair of local drug-dealing cases that saw charges reduced against defendants who forfeited money and property through agreements with the Muncie-Delaware County Drug Task Force.
Advertisement"That never, ever happened," McKinney said. "I don't care how many cases there are."
Drug defendant and accused arsonist Adrian Kirtz -- seen as a key witness in the pending conspiracy-to-commit-bribery case against ex-county prosecutor Michael Alexander -- apparently wanted more in a confidential settlement last year than just splitting his money and property with the Muncie-Delaware County Drug Task Force.
