A teen appearing in court for an initial hearing on a battery charge jumped over a railing at the Hendricks County courthouse
this morning, falling 31 feet.
The 16-year-old male was being escorted by two employees of the Sugar Creek Juvenile Justice Center and was in handcuffs
and leg shackles when he fled and jumped, said Lt. Jim Yetter with the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department. Sugar
Creek Juvenile Justice Center, in Ladoga, opened in May and is owned and managed by CMC Ownership LLC.
A statement from Sugar Creek released this afternoon said the teen was being transported by employees "consistent with operational procedure." The center also said a preliminary investigation indicated "there was likely nothing which our staff could have done to prevent this tragedy from occurring."
The teen is at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis in critical condition.

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
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.
