More Domestic News
I’ve been doing some following up on Eric Dickerson’s interview this morning. Democrats are telling I didn’t have all the facts. A police report has been circulating the Internet this morning. It makes serious allegations that there was more violence that might have occurred than Dickerson let on this morning in the interview. He was originally charged with two class A and one class B misdemeanors.
The case was dismissed in 1992. But under the codes used in the Prosecutor’s office it was also to be re-filed, but was dropped. A spokesman for the current Prosecutor says it has been their policy, as well as the previous prosecutor, to try cases even without the victim.
I asked for a copy of the file, but the Marion County Clerk only keeps them for a few years, so the original file from 14 years ago has been destroyed.
However, as any lawyer knows you look at all the evidence in a criminal matter, not just a police report. This is not because police are prone to lie, but because you want to have something you can take to trial and get a conviction.
Which is why I think it’s rather odd that of all the possible information that could have been in the file, only the initial police report managed to make it to the media.
Something happened along that way. I plan to find out what it was.
