The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana will celebrate Black History Month with the presentation “Escape
of Caroline,” based on a true story of the Underground Railroad.
Deborah Asante and Bob Sander of Storytelling Arts Indiana will re-enact the escape story of Caroline and her four children
as they head north through Indiana, encountering betrayal, sympathy and a second chance.
The event will take place at 2 p.m. Feb. 22 in the William E. Steckler Ceremonial Courtroom, Room 202 of the Birch Bayh Federal
Building and U.S. Courthouse, 46 E. Ohio St., Indianapolis. The presentation is free and open to the public, and one hour
of CLE credit is pending approval.
The storytellers’ performance will be followed with a presentation by Jeannie Regan-Dinius of the Indiana Department
of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology. She will discuss the legal and historical elements
of Caroline’s escape, drawing on her expansive knowledge of the Underground Railroad and its legacy in Indiana.

The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.

the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.

Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.

Wow, just wow.
