GUILTY In - Halee Rathgeber, 20, Fatally Shot, Warrick County, 24 April 2017 *arrest*

[jessarox]

Newbie question- how can we find out if cameras are allowed in the courtrooms in Indiana? Any chance the news stations there would cover this hearing live? On twitter the Evansville Courier & Press said their reporter Mark Wilson will be covering it (@ECPmarkwilson)

I don't believe they are, reporters around here usually live tweet court appearances on higher profile cases. 14 news usually retweets their reporters so that's a good place to watch as well.

Canon 2, Rule 2.17. Prohibiting Broadcasting of Proceedings. Indiana Code of Judicial Conduct (2010). This rule covers broadcasting in the trial courts.
Bench and Media Guide to Interaction, Cameras in the Courtroom. Indiana Judicial Center (Last modified Mar. 2010).
"To cover a Supreme Court argument, the media must fax a request to be a candidate for the media pool prior to the argument date. No formal rule exists that requires submission of a request by a specific deadline, but it is recommended that any photographer wishing to cover the hearing contact the Court approximately 48 hours prior to the scheduled time. If there are more requests than positions, the Court will select individuals by random drawing.
The Court of Appeals guidelines allow the judicial panel hearing the case to determine whether cameras or recorders would detract from the process or argument. The media must request permission from the three-judge panel hearing the case to allow equipment in the courtroom. The request must be submitted 48 hours prior to the scheduled time for the appellate argument."

Very interesting. Was it related to Halee?

It looked to me that some, not all, were suggesting a link between a couple of recent tragedies, one being Halee's murder. JMO.

There's been some tragic events very close to Halee recently. In all honesty, I think it would be foolish not to look at a possible connection. Is there a connection? Maybe, maybe not, but until more info is released I'm keeping it on the table. JMO

Thank you! This is super helpful. I practice in Federal Court where you can't even bring your phone in without a special pass from the Court.

As the judge is reading charges against Hagan we are learning more details. The state alleges between April 23rd & 24th the crimes occurred

Hagan allegedly stole Rathgeber's keys, wallet & cell phone through use of force & is charged w/ Robbery resulting in serious bodily injury

Hagan is charged with obstruction of justice in ct. 4 for trying to alter or damage those items he allegedly took from Rathgeber.

Court enters preliminary NOT guilty plea on charges and next court date is scheduled for June 6th.

The Judge is reading the charges against Hagan. The incident occurred on April 23 and 24. Hagan allegedly stole Rathbeger's keys, cell phone, and wallet through use of force, and is charged with Robbery resulting in serious bodily injury. He's charged with obstruction of justice for trying to "alter or damage" the items allegedly taken from Rathbeger. - 44News

 

[Alethea]

Hagan said he works at Lowes, lives with his parents, and previously worked at Coca Cola bottling. A public defender was appointed. - ECP

 

[Alethea]

I tweeted to Lauren at 44 News to ask if the Judge read out a separate murder charge. The way she tweeted sounded like either the Judge omitted charges 1 and 2 (murder and felony murder), and just read 3 (robbery) and 4 (obstruction), or there is no separate murder charge - i.e. the serious bodily injury during a robbery resulted in death (making it felony murder).

Hmm almost wondering if IH set her up? Of course if that were the case I think we would see different charges, although I suppose they could be changed later[emoji848] MOO

The jail he's being held in is about an hour away. Pike county is a pretty small county (not sure of their security as opposed to Warrick County's jail), I wonder why they put him there instead of Vanderburgh County...

Vanderburgh County seems to be full of his peers!
