HEARING ON SHIPMAN'S MOTION TO DISMISS SET FOR THURSDAY
(New Castle, IN)--A hearing is set for Thursday morning in a Henry County courtroom in the lawsuit filed by Adam Blanton of the Richmond Police Department against Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Shipman. The city of Richmond later joined the lawsuit as a plaintiff and has already accumulated well over $40,000 in legal fees as plaintiffs. The lawsuit stems over Blanton’s placement last year on what is commonly referred to as the Brady List. In March, Shipman filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and cited immunity under both Indiana and federal law. Thursday’s hearing is to address Shipman’s motion. The case was assigned to Henry County and a special judge after Wayne County judges recused themselves.
