We place special emphasis on habitual or career criminals. A habitual offender is someone who has three total unrelated felony convictions or substance abuse convictions. Red file folders are used for habitual offenders. Cream file folders are used for non-habitual offenders.
We have one of the most beautiful courthouses in the state of Indiana. This is the view looking down from the third floor.
The Wayne County Public Defender's Office is located on the first floor of the Courthouse. The attorneys in that office devote their entire practice to criminal defense. Most attorneys in this office have much more jury trial experience than private defense attorneys. They are excellent attorneys who work very hard for some unpopular people.
These are the major felony filing cabinets. At last check, we had between 900-1,000 major felony cases pending. There are over 2000 lower level felony, misdemeanor, juvenile, and infraction cases pending. In our other office, there are 5,000+ pending child support cases. That adds up to roughly 8,000 cases in the office assigned to only 7 attorneys.
Our office manager, Juanita Carter. She began working here in 1984 and has outlasted the following prosecuting attorneys: Jerry Surface, Jan Chalfant, Jodi English, Terry O'Maley and Dave Kolger. She does not like to have her picture taken.
The Prosecutor's Office has two divisions. One is the Criminal and the other is Child Support. The Child Support Division has 5,684 open cases for the establishment and enforcement of child support orders. In the calendar year 2012, the office collected $8,286,974 in child support payments for custodial parents.
You may often see defendants walking across the street from the Wayne County Jail to the Courthouse. Defendants incarcerated prior to trial are given specific clothing colors based upon the criminal charge and other factors. In this picture, one defendant is wearing gray and black stripes and the other is wearing green.

Richmond Police Detective Tom Legear is reviewing paperwork on a child molesting case. In that case a 62 year old male repeatedly molested an 8 year old girl. Once the charges have been signed, we will file them with the court and ask that a warrant be issued for the defendant's arrest.
We work with law enforcement officers every day. Before criminal charges are filed with the court, an officer will often sign a sworn statement attesting to certain facts.In this picture, Centerville Police Chief Ed Buchholz (left) is reviewing paperwork. Detective Mark Ward of the Richmond Police Department is retrieving criminal charging paperwork that has been dictated by an attorney and typed by a secretary
