INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday involving a Wayne County lawsuit.
Judy Reece filed the lawsuit after her husband, Walter Reece, sustained permanent injuries in an Aug. 10, 2014, crash while riding his motorcycle south of Cambridge City. Tyson Foods Inc. is the only remaining defendant in the lawsuit, and was accused of having high vegetation on its corner property that impeded vision and contributed to the crash.
Special Judge Jay Toney of Randolph Circuit Court granted a summary judgment in Tyson s favor, and the Court of Appeals of Indiana upheld that decision. However, Senior Judge John G. Baker wrote a dissenting opinion that summary judgment was not warranted. A summary judgment occurs when no material facts are in dispute and the ruling occurs merely based on law without a trial.
Randolph molester indicted on sex trafficking charges
WINCHESTER, Ind. A few weeks after he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for six molesting convictions, a Randolph County man has been indicted by a grand jury in another sex-related investigation.
The Randolph Circuit Court grand jury in recent days charged William D. Brandenburg, 31, of Union City, with three counts of promotion of human sexual trafficking, all Level 4 felonies carrying up to 12 years in prison.
The indictments allege that Brandenburg used coercion to persuade a person to engage in sex acts three times in exchange for forgiveness of a gambling debt.
The incidents are alleged to have taken place between early November and mid-January.
