More than a week after the controversial death of Laura Russell, Jefferson County Indiana Superior Judge Michael Hensley has released a statement in explaining his decision as it relates to the incident.

IOW, the cops filling out the paperwork screwed up, by not putting in sufficient probable cause information. Maybe they need training.

I was thinking the same thing Seaboe--someone didn't do his NFBSKing job and because of that someone is dead and this judge has that death on his conscience. I hope the new procedure I read about will help other victims.

I'm not sure how you're getting that. The statement doesn't say what information the judge had; only that the judge didn't think it constituted probable cause. I can't tell whether that's because the information about repeated stalking wasn't in there, or whether it was in there but the judge didn't think it sufficient.

To get an arrest warrant, the cops need to fill out paperwork for the judge, stating who they want to arrest and why. The judge then evaluates that information to decide whether there is probably cause to issue the warrant.
So, if the judge didn't have the information he needed (in light of the information the article says was presented to the cops), then the cops filling out the forms screwed up. Seaboe |

True. And if the judge did have all that information, but nevertheless thought that it was insufficient, then the judge screwed up.
I don't see anything in his letter or in the story to indicate which one of those things happened. |

One thing I did not see and maybe the judge did not see it either. That is evidence of previous violence. That may have been a factor that the judge thinks if important.
