I like the way you think. I'm in!

Actually, I'd like to buy TF a dinner. He fought the fight when a lot of people would just shrug, and say, "It's too much trouble"

Agreed ! Actually, I made that offer over a year ago, It still stands dude! You and your lovely + the most phenomenal steaks in the Tri-State area.

I have no idea what's going on, but here's a man dancing in a banana suit to supplement TF's dancing banana:

TH, you don't have to answer this if you don't want to. I'm curious as to how the financing of this case case played out. Were the lawyer's fees payed out as you go or at the verdict. Either way is very daunting to a person like me. If I had to pay out as I went, I wouldn't be able to afford it. If the settlement was to pay it, I couldn't pursue it on the off chance that I would lose and owe multiple thousands that i do not have.

Just wondering.

He's worth it!

If they make it to the SCOTUS, I'll be grilling steaks for both of them, as long as I'm still in town.

Awesome.

Next steps? The city will probably seek review by the Indiana Supreme Court. That process is known as seeking "transfer." In this kind of case, the ISC does not have to review it. Generally, civil cases have a low percentage of transfers. This, however, is a unique case, so it is hard to tell whether they will take it or not.

It'll take roughly 60 days for the parties to request/respond to transfer. After that, it will be up to the ISC to decide whether to take it, which could take weeks or months.

ETA:
Solid, solid win. Decent analysis by Baker, too, although I'm a bit surprised May and Barteau didn't offer any dissent or concurrence in result. After reading it, I actually doubt ISC will take transfer. Would rather see how it plays out.

They officially petitioned the Appeals court for a re-hearing I guess the city attorney wanted another smackdown by the court.

Well of course he did. He's not paying for it!!

In fact, he's getting paid to do it. So not only does not have to pay for it, the taxpayers are footing the bill for his hubris and will eventually pay for all of this plus the settlement.

Since prosecutors ar normally judged by their success in winning cases, he will need to plea out many cases to bury this one.

If Evansville is anything like Hammond, the mayors' buddies were contracted to defend the city.

Cronyism is the watchword of ALL politicians that is where nepotism is not possible.

Good point. Evansville politics would have to improve to get up to being merely filthy. Just as crooked as Chicago and little if any more effort made to hide it than Chicago makes.

T.F..... Who is the prosecutor? If you can say. I'd like to spread the word to all my working buddies before the next election.

The prosecutor doesn't handle civil suits against municipalities; he only prosecutes crimes and infractions. The city attorney handles this stuff, but many cities retain outside counsel as well for litigation purposes. The Mayor/council is normally who makes the decisions on these suits.
