Ind. Courts - "Attorney jailed again in fatal crash case" [Updated]

Updating this most recent entry in the ILB, from Sept. 23, 2008, quoting a story which ended:

Charges were filed after the death of Jimmy R. Cash, 46, in a May 2007 crash. Record had been drinking at a strip club just before the wreck, police said. He now practices law in Evansville.
Jon Murray of the Indianapolis Star reports today:
A former state attorney facing pending charges in a fatal drunken driving crash was sent back to Marion County Jail this afternoon for consuming alcohol, violating the conditions of his release.

Last month, a private monitoring company in Evansville, where Terry J. Record now lives, recorded alcohol on his breath during one of three daily remote tests from his home.

Record had been out of jail since he posted $10,000 bond in May 2007, soon after the crash in Indianapolis that killed Jimmy R. Cash, 46. Record had been drinking at a strip club before he ran a red light at Southeastern Avenue and Pleasant Run Parkway.

During a hearing this afternoon in Marion Superior Court, Record admitted to the December alcohol violation. He said family-related stress at the time didn't excuse drinking roughly three alcoholic drinks.

Pro Tem Judge Mark Jones revoked his bond and said he would revisit the decision Jan. 27. Record's trial is set for Feb. 9 on drunken driving and reckless homicide charges.
