High-profile murders: the docket, the line-of-duty class, and the family class

items 3, 4, and 9 — the counted docket; officers; multi-victim and family cases

Three classes, three postures, each printed: the counted docket — the banked set carries a tested negative (no prosecution reached) in place of an enumerated docket, and this article names the exchange honestly: the county court docket worked case by case into a list of every prosecution, with its trials and endings, stands as a named gap, settler that docket; riding at pointer size inside it, the Odle pointer of the Story of New Carlisle section file (the 1850 counterfeiting case, Centre Township) is disposed of for this section forever — an attempted poisoning with no death, never to be counted toward any homicide total. Line-of-duty killings — tested as their own class: no officer's killing in a famous case, no trial course, and no pardon campaign stands for this ground in the records reached; the set's one line-of-duty death is the fire file's own — Assistant Fire Chief Jamie Middlebrook, 5 August 2014 — a fire-service death carried whole in its file, framed here against this section for the first time at its true classification: a line-of-duty death, not a murder case. The multi-victim and family class — tested by class against the homicide negatives and prints empty whole: no case of two or more victims, no wife-dies / husband-dies pairing, and no victim-named statute campaign of local origin stands for this town in the press or court records reached. The Whitt discipline is restated for the assembly one last time: the set's one positive modern case is a civil wiretap action, "criminal-adjacent, not criminal," and counts toward nothing in this section.
