How many months delay did the change of venue get him?
They'll appeal and drag this out for even more years. It'll be a cold day before the victims of this guy see any justice.
Likely not many appeals...if any. Those take money...lots of money...and Dave is out.
Can he now be officially fired from the PD?
No idea. But change of venue is part of the right to getting a fair trial, which is a right afforded to ALL defendants.
They have wanted to for 3 years. Before this afternoon he was not guilty.I am just guessing, but YES... IMPD, will want to "wash their hands" of him ...... JMHO .....
Yes.
YES, I forgot about that .....The news is saying he is still "technically" IMPD and can't be fired until a merit board hears his case .
I wonder how much MORE he will cost Indianapolis before he's finally gone ?

Good. Now I hope they shut up about him. I am so sick of hearing about him. Had he been any other Joe Blow, the sentenced would have been handed down over a year ago. I pray the family/victims find peace, and have gained some confidence in our Legal System.
Actually, had it been any other Joe Blow, he would have walked due to procedural errors.
Well, hard to say, because in all likelihood those procedural errors wouldn't have occurred. I say that because, as a police officer, he never came under suspicion for being drunk at the scene the way Joe Blow probably would have. Joe Blow would almost certainly have been given a breathalyzer on the spot. Joe Blow wouldn't have been taken to a convenience store first. Joe Blow probably wouldn't have been taken to a "clinic" for the blood draw, etc.. These are some of the things, of course, that the public saw as preferential treatment and contributed to the negative image for the department from that point on.
Not trying to be funny, but I would love to do that .....He never came under suspicion because he didn't present any indicators. And this "if Joe Blow ..." horse**** is getting old. Ride with an IMPD Dui Unit officer and see how it really is before making uninformed statements.

Sorry Frank, I meant no disrespect, but (and I will admit I don't know) isn't it generally standard procedure to do some kind of field sobriety test for a fatal accident? Again, not trying to pile on.He never came under suspicion because he didn't present any indicators. And this "if Joe Blow ..." horse**** is getting old. Ride with an IMPD Dui Unit officer and see how it really is before making uninformed statements.
