After a year of preparation, Marion Superior Juvenile Judge Marilyn Moores left for an 11-month mission to Afghanistan to
help rebuild the war-torn country’s farming and agricultural infrastructure.
Presiding over the juvenile court since 2005, Judge Moores is a lieutenant colonel with the Indiana National Guard. She left
Sept. 25 for the mission in the Khost province, south of Kabul. She is expected to return in August 2011, and the judge began
a leave of absence in the early summer when training began at Camp Atterbury.
In Judge Moores’ 25-year military career, she has never had a chance to serve overseas. She said previously she was
eager for this opportunity, as it presented a chance to make peace and not fight the war. The judge is part of the third of
five agribusiness teams that have traveled there, and her agricultural experience comes from her personal background in agriculture
and horse farming. A 36-person security force is accompanying the team.
Juvenile Magistrate Gary Chavers is presiding in her absence.

vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
