Marion Superior Judge Grant Hawkins has ordered the trial for Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Officer David Bisard moved
from the Indianapolis media market because of publicity surrounding the fatal accident involving the officer in 2010.
Bisard is accused of driving drunk and killing one motorcyclist, Eric Wells, and injuring two others in August 2010. He was
on patrol when he hit the motorcyclists stopped a traffic light in Marion County. Mary Mills and Kurt Weekly were seriously
injured in the crash.
A blood draw at the time showed Bisard had a 0.19 BAC, but Hawkins originally didn’t allow that evidence to be used
at Bisard’s trial to support DUI charges. The Indiana Court of Appeals in September ordered that the blood be allowed at Bisard’s trial for
reckless homicide and other alcohol-related charges.
Hawkins hasn’t ruled on where the trial will be located.

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.
-
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.

This is disturbing to learn...
