Monday, October 18th:
*Initial Appearance Hearing (for Booker-Monroe Co) via Zoom (@ 9am CT) - IN - Vauhxx Rush Booker (36/now 37) (attempted lynching, July 4, 2020, Lake Monroe, Bloomington) - *Sean M. Purdy (44/now 45) arrested & charged (7/17/20) with criminal confinement, battery resulting in moderate bodily injury & intimidation (The intimidation charge is related to the allegation that Purdy said "get a noose" in a threat of lynching against Booker). Johnson County
*Jerry Edward Cox (38/now 39) arrested & charged (7/17/20) with aiding, inducing or causing criminal confinement, battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, intimidation & 2 counts of battery. Johnson County
Only for *Vauhxx Rush Booker (37) charged (7/4/20) & filed (7/30/21) with battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, a felony & misdemeanor criminal trespass. Monroe County
*Vauhxx Rush Booker (37) charged (9/5/21) with battery against a Public Safety offical. Marion County
7/11/20: The man seen on video being pinned to a tree at Lake Monroe has called for a grand jury in his case. Booker made the announcement at People’s Park in Bloomington with his attorney by his side on Friday. The FBI & Dept. of Natural Resources officers are already investigating this crime, but Booker said that’s not enough.
7/14/20: A white man who's been accused of beating up & shouting racial slurs at a Black man in a filmed incident at an Indiana lake on the Fourth of July contends he isn't the one who started the violent conflict & says his accuser is not telling the truth. Attorneys for Sean Purdy, one of the men accused of taking part in the alleged assault, held a news conference Monday in Monroe County, Indiana & said Booker was putting out "a false narrative" about the incident that took place in Lake Monroe. Booker said a group of white men confronted him while he was walking to an event at the lake with a friend & later blocked the path to the beach. David Hennessy, one of Purdy's attorneys, contends that Booker instigated the encounter, threw the first punches & "started race-baiting." The attorneys said that their client was only restraining Booker. Hennessy also said that Purdy "passed" a polygraph test about the incident, specifically regarding questions about Booker's claims that Purdy used racial epithets & threatened to get a noose. Katherine Leill, Booker's attorney, said in a statement that her client won't be taking a polygraph test & that he stands by his account of the incident. She said that other witnesses filmed the incident & have corroborated Booker's account. Leill urged authorities to charge the alleged attackers.
7/21/20: Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Erika Oliphant announced last Friday her office was charging two men, Sean Purdy & Jerry Edward Cox, in connection with the case. Purdy is facing charges of criminal confinement, battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, and intimidation, all of which are felonies. Prosecutors charged Cox with aiding, inducing or causing criminal confinement, battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, intimidation, and two counts of battery.
7/27/20: Caroline McCord, who is Purdy’s girlfriend & owns the property where the incident occurred, filed a motion to intervene in the Purdy case & request a special prosecutor.
9/7/21 Update: Last week, Booker himself was charged with a felony in connection to the incident. Race has played a prominent role in both the initial altercation as well as the unfolding fallout. Booker has been charged with battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, a felony & misdemeanor criminal trespass. Special prosecutor Sonia Leerkamp, appointed after Monroe County Prosecutor Erika Oliphant recused herself from the controversial case, filed the charges. According to court records, Booker has been summoned to appear in court for an initial hearing on Sept. 14.
9/9/21 Update: Booker is facing a charge of battery against an IMPD officer after an incident at an Indianapolis bar Sunday morning. In the Indianapolis case, police said they were called to Downtown Olly's around 6:34 a.m. on Sept. 5. When officers arrived, they said Booker approached them & was yelling that the staff members were "intoxicated, rude, yelling & screaming racist comments to him." The police supervisor instructed the officers to take a report on the incident. As part of that, police asked for Booker's ID & he handed his license to them. While police were waiting on a case number for their report, they claim Booker came into the road & began yelling at them to return his license. Police said they asked him multiple times to return to the sidewalk & Booker did not. In court documents, police then said Booker put his chest into an officer, knocking him back. That officer caught themselves, pushed Booker back & put him in handcuffs. All three officers there at the time were wearing body cameras.
9/14/21 Update: Booker said he refused to negotiate a resolution to the case through mediation because it would have meant signing a confidentiality clause & dismissing the charges against Purdy & Cox. Booker also said he would have been required to publicly forgive them. Booker and his attorney alleged the charges against him are in response to him not going along with terms of the proposed reconciliation plan. According to online court records, for Purdy & Cox a pretrial conferences are slated for Aug. 20 for both men.
8/20/21 Update: Purdy & Cox: Next Pretrial conference hearing on 1/6/22. 9/14/21 Update: Booker/Monroe Co: Initial appearance hearing rescheduled to 10/18/21. Booker/Marion Co: Pretrial conference hearing on 12/7/21.

In the Lake Monroe case, all three men agreed to participate in restorative justice meetings. Cox and Purdy did their part but Booker dropped out. The prosecutor told Booker that if the restorative justice process was not successful, then she would charge him for his part in the altercation.
Booker said in the press statement that it was clear to him that C &P had no remorse and it was a ruse for them to escape punishment. "Mr. Booker learned that the charges against his attackers would be dismissed, he was even asked to attend a joint press conference where he would be expected to publicly express his forgiveness of the men who brutalized him."
C & P and their lawyers understood the prosecution to say that if they participated in the program the charges would be dropped. They felt they did what was asked of them and it wasn't their fault the B dropped out.
So no one is happy about this outcome. There has been no update from his initial hearing yesterday.

This article has more info on the restorative justice issue and a slightly contentious back and forth between the attorneys. B was unhappy that neither of the accused has spent any time in jail, both being out on bond.
Vauhxx Booker: Prosecutor says he may be 'danger to the community'
Prosecutor says Vauhxx Booker may be 'danger to the community'
Judge takes Purdy, Cox's requests to dismiss charges under advisement
By Boris Ladwig (Sept. 10)
FRANKLIN — A prosecutor said Friday that given former Bloomington resident Vauhxx Booker’s arrest last weekend, she would like the court to review whether bond needs to be set in his other criminal case related to an altercation at Lake Monroe because he may be a “danger to the community.”
The special prosecutor in the case, Sonia Leerkamp, said that she initially did not request bond in the Lake Monroe case because Booker had been cooperative, but she has changed her mind given Booker’s Sunday morning arrest on suspicion that he shoved a police officer outside an Indianapolis bar.

I haven't had access to this much info prior to trial in any of my other cases so I'm finding this really interesting. This seems to have come by way of Associated Press staff. Indiana DNR investigated initially and then LE became involved. It's a detailed account from all parties involved in the incident. It's 68 pages long but don't let that stop you.

Wondering "what" RTSC stands for... so - looked it up!
What does RTSC mean in court?
If the contempt is constructive, then you must file a Rule to Show Cause (“RTSC”) and serve it on the other party. At the RTSC hearing, the filing party presents their evidence as to the other person's alleged violation of the order.

9/10/21 Update: Hearing Journal Entry: Judge Lance Hamner. State's Special Prosecutor, Sonya Leerkamp appears by zoom. Sean Purdy appears in person, with counsel, David Hennessey & Andrew Baldwin. Jerry Cox appears in person, with counsel, Joseph Lozano. Vauhxx Booker appears in person, by counsel, Katharine Liell. Pretrial is held. Court denies Defendant's Motion To Strike appearance. Court grants Motion To Quash subpoena of Katharine Liell. Court grants Motion To Quash Subpoena of Vauhxx Booker. Motion to Dismiss & Motion For Change Of Venue will be taken into consideration at a future hearing. Purdy & Cox: Court sets Pretrial on 1/6/22 at 1:30pm. Final Pretrial on 2/3/22 at 1:30pm & Jury Trial on 3/1/22 at 8:30am. Defendants are ordered to appear.

Motion to Reconsider-Defendant, by counsel, files Verified Motion to Reconsider Quashing of the Booker subpoena for 9/10/21. Response filed: Defendant, by counsel files Reply to State's Motion to Quash Booker subpoena for 10/8/21. 10/5/21: Memorandum/Brief filed-Defendant, by counsel, files Supplemental Memorandum of Law in Support of Dismissal.

10/18/21 Update: All three men agreed to participate in restorative justice meetings. Cox & Purdy did their part but Booker dropped out. The prosecutor told Booker that if the restorative justice process was not successful, then she would charge him for his part in the altercation. The restorative justice issue & a slightly contentious back & forth between the attorneys. Booker was unhappy that neither of the accused has spent any time in jail, both being out on bond. Prosecutor said Booker may be 'danger to the community'. Judge takes Purdy & Cox's requests to dismiss charges under advisement. A prosecutor said Friday, that given former Bloomington resident Booker’s arrest last weekend, she would like the court to review whether bond needs to be set in his other criminal case related to an altercation at Lake Monroe because he may be a “danger to the community.” The special prosecutor in the case, Sonia Leerkamp, said that she initially did not request bond in the Lake Monroe case because Booker had been cooperative, but she has changed her mind given Booker’s Sunday morning arrest on suspicion that he shoved a police officer outside an Indianapolis bar.
10/29/21: Purdy: Motion filed by defendant, by counsel request for additional hearing. 11/1/21 Update: Court issues Order Setting hearing on motion to dismiss on 11/15/21 @ 1:30pm.

The judge didn't find out until a week after he granted the PD that VB had the 
money. It's intended to go toward medical costs, attorney fees and lost wages. I wonder how this got by both judges in his 2 cases. It was created 16 months ago.
