Your story states that Indiana law does not mandate prosecutors to pursue a hearing in “red flag law” cases. That is simply incorrect. The statute says that after a firearm is seized by police an affidavit SHALL be filed with the court within 48 hours. Judges have discretion in these cases. Prosecutors do not.
Isn’t SHALL a lot like SHOULD?
.
I remember from debate days SHOULD goes something like this: “ought to but not necessarily will”.
.
It would have a more active voice if it were “an affidavit MUST/WILL be filed with the court within 48 hours”
Mears said that the 14 day time limit in the IN red flag law is not enough time to put together a case. But I saw an interview on WRTV with the person who was responsible for getting the red flag law in CT passed. He said that prosecutors out there do not have any problems with getting their cases together within the 14 day requirement in the CT. He suggested that maybe the prosecutor in IN doesn’t know how to pursue these types of cases.
John C. – Not only that, but courts routinely get continuances granted in these cases, which our statute allows for.
Sorry I meant courts routinely GRANT continuances in these cases.
He also failed to file on a previous case involving Malik Halfacre, who then went on to shoot and kill five people in January on the near eastside. Ryan Mears has made many decisions not to prosecute or make plea deals with criminals who then go on to commit even more serious crimes. I wish someone would take a close look at his track record (not the record of successful prosecutions, but the ones he has passed on and what has resulted following his pass). His actions/decisions are significantly contributing to the high rate of violent crime in our community.
Dear Mr Mears, do your job. No excuses! Let the judges decide.
