Trustee Jennifer Teising and her attorney outside of Tippecanoe County Courthouse Tuesday (WBAA News/Ben Thorp)
Attorneys for the state argued in court on Tuesday that Wabash Township Trustee Jennifer Teising’s request for a change of venue and prosecutor should be denied.
Teising was indicted in May on charges that she had illegally withdrawn her trustee salary while not a legal resident of the township, charges she denies.
In late June, Teising s attorney, Karen Celestino-Horseman, filed for a change of venue and a special prosecutor, arguing that Teising would not receive a fair trial in Tippecanoe or surrounding counties because of “inflamed” passions due to extensive pretrial publicity.
