Kevin Lyons recently dropped the case against ex-officer Troy Parker, who had been indicted on “three counts of reckless homicide and four counts of aggravated operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol.” The prosecution only had circumstantial evidence that Parker was driving the boat, and the interpretation of that evidence was mixed. For more details, read Luciano’s column today.
The question of the day is, should Lyons have dropped the case, or should he have prosecuted Parker with the evidence he had?
Incidentally, Kevin Lyons was scheduled to speak at the Neighborhood Alliance meeting Monday night, but didn’t show up. States Attorney candidate Darin LaHood was there, though.
