How would you go before this judge one of these days?
The Indiana Supreme Court has reprimanded a judge for allowing a man to stay in prison more than a year longer than necessary.
The court said in a Dec. 19 reprimand that Madison Superior Court 3 Judge Thomas Newman Jr.'s “conduct reflects discredit on him and the Indiana judicial system.”
The state judicial commission filed disciplinary charges against Newman in July, accusing him of “indifference” in the case.
The best part is that the prosecutor defended the judge, saying he wasn't really indifferent; he just made an "inadvertent" mistake. Oops, there goes a year of your life. So sorry. My goof.
