Ind. Courts - Verdict in on "He was trying to put her over that railing"
Updating this ILB entry from July 31st, an AP story reports:
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A man who witnesses said tried to push a lawyer over a fourth-floor rotunda railing inside the Tippecanoe County Courthouse has been convicted of criminal confinement resulting in bodily injury.A jury reached the verdict Friday against 51-year-old Russell A. Timmons. The jury acquitted him of attempted murder and attempted aggravated battery charges in the attack on Linda Polley of Fort Wayne. * * *
Authorities say the attack happened June 22, 2007, soon after a judge ordered the Lafayette-area man’s wife to pay more than $4,000 in Polley’s attorney fees in a court case over a traffic crash.
