Justices Weigh Reinstating Conviction in Two-Year-Old’s Death
(INDIANAPOLIS) Prosecutors are trying to reinstate a teenager’s murder conviction in the death of a two-year-old boy.
Tyre Bradbury didn’t fire a shot, but prosecutors say he acquired the guns for a 2014 gang confrontation in a South Bend park. A stray bullet killed two-year-old John Swoveland Junior as he was playing in his front yard.
A divided Court of Appeals ordered a new trial last year the jury should have been able to consider reckless homicide instead of murder. That would have meant a maximum of 16 years. Instead, Bradbury was sentenced to 90 years, reduced to 60 on a first round of appeals.
