Why are we? I went to this site and went through the archives and searched by name (which is an education in and of itself) and found the court case #CR101-000140. Perhaps it's my computer but I found getting that far rather exhaustive (and yet I persevered - go figure?)
After finding the court number I was able to enter the number in a place where there was an option to search by case number and then a screen popped up with information about the case. We have highspeed internet and this form remained blank for a lonnnnnnng time before the information finally popped up. There are entries (not exhaustive detail) about just about everything -- probable cause warrants issued, request for discovery, arraignment, advisement of right to counsel and, plea, continuances, motions for reduction in bond, bond posted, waiving preliminary hearing, entry of second attorney, further arraignments, waivers, motion for discovery, depositions for Greg Arnold and Crystal Mize, reduction of bond, withdrawal of first attorney,entry of third attorney, trial date set, plea to lesser offense, sentencing hearing set, sentence pronouncement, motion to reduce sentence, etc.
Very interesting what is in the public domain at the click of a mouse --- well several mouse clicks, that is.
I went there, too. I was a little disappointed because in the county where I live in Ohio you can also pull up the arrest reports, the probably cause statements the police use to get the arrest warrants. The 7th Circuit Court website IS cumbersome - I salute you for getting through it if you don't do that all the time! I was hoping to see a copy of Brandi's police report!
