A judge has ruled on the special prosecutor and his co-counsel in the case against Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez for allegedly resisting law enforcement and reckless driving. From the Post-Tribune.
Newton County Circuit Court Judge Jeryl Leach, who is presiding over the case, issued a ruling Friday stating that special prosecutor Stanley Levco can remain on the case and appointed David Thomas as co-special prosecutor “for the purpose of assisting the special prosecutor in this case.”
The SUV continued at this speed onto Taft Street in Merrillville, passing the stopped officers. In seeing the speeding violation, officers attempted to catch up to curb the vehicle, according to a police report. During a hearing last week, Michael Woods, one of Martinez’s attorneys, said the case is not “a paper case” with a lot of records to review. Woods also said “there’s nothing particularly complex” about an allegation of a “high-speed chase” and hiring another attorney would be costly.»
In this case, the court limited Levco’s duties to representing the state during the investigation “but did not authorize the prosecuting of said charges if warranted,” and the length of Levco’s term has not been determined, according to the motion to strike appearance.
