Man held for 500-plus days on murder charge is released

·

TIPTON, Ind. -- A man jailed for more than a year on a murder charge was released after the Indiana Supreme Court ruled he had been held longer than state law permits. Michael Shane Bramley, 28, was released from the Tipton County Jail on his own recognizance Monday, three days after the high court ordered his release. In its 5-0 decision, the court ruled Bramley had been held without trial longer than allowed by state law. That decision overturned a July ruling by a Tipton Circuit judge who rejected Bramley's request for release.

New state law requires court advocates for children's cases

Senate Bill 529 became law July 1, requiring advocates to be appointed for children in abuse and neglect cases. Advocates for children's rights hail the law, saying it is important someone represent youths in court.

Jordan River Forum

·

I wasn't surprised to read a column both critical and ignorant of the basic tenets of Intelligent Design. Mr. Schmidt's column ("The New Creationism," Aug 24.) was a careful and well-rehearsed repetition of everything his professors have taught him to believe. His mockery of those with commitments both to scientific inquiry and to supernatural belief only demonstrates his lack of respect for either. I'm afraid (Intelligent Design) is not simply a few religious zealots astonished by an eyeball, and the columnist would be well-served by a thorough reading of Behe, Dembski and others.
