Ind. Courts - "After shooting, LaPorte County judge sworn in"
Updating this entry from Jan. 1st and this one from Dec. 30th, the South Bend Tribune reports today in a story that begins:
LAPORTE — Jennifer Evans presided over her first criminal case Monday as judge in LaPorte Superior Court 3 two weeks after being shot.She was sworn into office Wednesday, and a courtroom official reported before Evans took the bench at 10 a.m. Monday that "she's fine."
Meanwhile, St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak on Friday accepted a request by the LaPorte County prosecutor's office to conduct an independent review of the evidence in the case, to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
