Ind. Decisions - More on: Ex-Marion County prosecutor's employee pleads guilty in fatal DUI case

Jon Murray has updated yesterday's Indianapolis Star story (ILB entry here). The story today concludes:

The May 2007 crash was Record's second in less than a year. He also crashed an SUV into a parked vehicle after leaving a bar in October 2006 -- at first reporting his SUV stolen, police said, but later admitting he had been driving it at the time of the crash and left the scene.

He was never charged with leaving the scene of an accident. But Record, who had just begun working in Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi's office, was forced to resign after he changed his story to police.

Two months later, Record started a job with the Indiana State Department of Health as a staff attorney, making $40,000 a year. He was fired from that position after the crash that killed Cash.

Since the incident, Record has practiced law in Evansville.

From earlier in today' story:
Record had left Brad's Brass Flamingo after sharing pitchers of beer and shots with a stripper, police said.

After running a red light at Southeastern Avenue and Pleasant Run Parkway, his BMW plowed into Cash's truck, nearly splitting it in two. Police said Record was traveling at 60 mph in a 35-mph zone.

Cash, a father of two, died at the scene.
