The homicide and reckless endangerment charges still stand, but man alive. Heads need to seriously roll here.

Also, a question for the legal types out there: will the exclusion of the BAC test reduce the chances of convicting Bisard on the other charges? I would think they would, but I am not versed in criminal law.

I am sure this was intentional on the part of the investigating officers. That thin blue line.

He gets by with a little help from his friends. What better way to help a fellow officer than to screw up the investigation?

Not where I worked for 30 years. Have taught numerous traffic crash courses in and around Indianapolis. Don't know what happened in this case. Sure doesn't look good, but I'll reserve opinion till the investigation is completed.

“Don’t know what happened in this case.”

That fact that the perp is a cop might give ya a clue to the sudden case of ineptitude...

Funny, a few years ago here in Western New York there was an accident where a drunk driver killed a man pumping gas. Blood was drawn and was later ruled inadmissable evidence. Oddly enough that driver was also a police officer.These things just keep happening.

“Officer Brown, I checked your partner’s sample and it isn’t blood. It’s Kool-Aid.”

“It came right out of his veins. I take it Kool-Aid isn’t admissable in court, right?”

This story shakes any faith I had in our so-called justice system in Indiana. Even in the suburbs the police are nothing but a fund-raising arm of the local governments. Then when a real crime occurs involving their own - this type of thing happens. So sad.

Due to the advent of the internet and personal video cameras, official police corruption and protecting fellow officers from prosecution is getting more difficult to do.

The FOP and thin blue line exist merely to make high school graduates millionaires and exempt from prosecution.

....Look for the Thin Blue Line, when you are covering for a fellow officer.

Hundreds gathered Friday on Monument Circle to protest IMPD’s handling of the investigation into a fatal crash involving officer David Bisard. Drunken-driving charges against him in the death of Eric Wells were dropped Thursday.
