They may not have bought it. Per the articleThe last time I was in Indy I went past this store while taking my morning walk. The homeless/panhandlers were hitting people up for money while drinking Starbucks. It was an interesting reflection of our current culture; people that don't work but can still afford the most expensive coffee begging money from people that are heading to work.
And I did hear of one guy that was getting free hot cocoa from them. He'd ask them for a large cup of hot water, water being free. Then he'd go over to the bar with the cream/sugar/etc pour about half out, add a bunch of sugar and cocoa then top it off with the cream. The employees let him get away with it a couple of times before they cut him off.Burton said Starbucks employees were known to provide free drinks to homeless people. “And we believe this may have contributed to that environment of unease for their customers and employees,” he said.
A judge has found Tyler Newby guilty of reckless homicide after a previous attempt at trying Newby in 2021 ended with a mistrial after a unanimous decision couldn’t be reached by jurors.
Newby was accused of shooting and killing Dorian Murrell during the second night of protests and rioting in downtown Indianapolis on May 31, 2020.
I spoke to a homicide detective yesterday outside LOS about that case. Was the information that the "victim" was involved in the murder of Chris Beatty not introduced? I'm sure the "victim's" friends came in and testilied that he was shot for no reason.Tyler Newby found guilty of reckless homicide in downtown riot shooting of 2020

Personal opinion? Should have stuck with a jury. I don't think you could convince a full jury that it wasn't self defense due to disparity of force issues.

No doubt. He thought he could convince one out of one better than twelve out of twelve. And I suppose it could make sense, especially if he's being held while awaiting trail anyway. There is probably a point where a string of hung juries becomes just as bad as being in prison. "Get it over with."Tyler Newby found guilty of reckless homicide in downtown riot shooting of 2020

I'm 50/50 on trusting juries. But in his case that would have been the best choice.I don't know for sure, but I would expect it to be excluded in that the shooter would not have had that information at the time he fired the shot, meaning it could not have influenced his decision. I would think the mere fact he was knocked down and surrounded would be sufficient, and apparently his attorney must have felt the same...but I'd still have stuck with a jury myself.
Downtown tenants' insurance premiums cost the city nothing, but civil rights lawsuits can leave a mark.I would like to take this opportunity to state yet again that hogg**** is a worthless piece of ****.
Where was hogg**** on those nights he let the city be destroyed?
So they say he got a light sentence. Is he still considered a felon? If so that is enough to mess his life up completely.He got one year home detention with 4 years probation. 5 yrs suspended sentence. This is one case where I approve of a "light" sentence.

The "light" was my interjection. And unfortunately yes he is still considered a felon. In 10 yrs I think (but not positive) he can file for expungement, less if the prosecutor agrees.So they say he got a light sentence. Is he still considered a felon?

Glad to see Justice served for once. But is it just me, or did the article give the vibe that the writer disagreed with the outcome?I don't think this was discussed in a separate thread so I'll dust off the riot thread:
Seen the video? Don't violently resist arrest during a riot. Or any other time for that matter.
The link has the lengthy list of charges. You'd think they saw some little old lady sitting on her porch and they went up and beat her for not giving them snicker-doodles.
IMPD officers found not guilty in 2020 use-of-force arrests
(Note the auto-correct for the newsies changes "riot" to "protest".)
Friday marked the fifth and final day of the trial involving IMPD officers Jonathan Horlock and Nathaniel Schauwecker, who were facing felony charges related to the arrest of Ivoré Westfield and Rachel Harding on May 31, 2020, during a Black Lives Matter protest that was taking place downtown.
Deliberations went on for more than ten hours, which lasted early into Saturday morning. Eventually, the jury declared Horlock and Schauwecker not guilty on eight of the twelve charges they were facing. The judge decarded a hung jury on the reaming four counts in the case.

No.The gardener asked why the one woman did not show up in court and I answered "active warrants maybe" but then gave it some thought. Does answering a subpoena give somebody temporary immunity to arrest in this case?
