Guilty Verdicts In Armed Robbery Trial

Three sets of deliberations led to three guilty verdicts for the same man Wednesday afternoon in Kosciusko Circuit Court. Once a 12-person jury found Richard A.Mitchell, 45, of Fort Wayne, guilty of armed robbery, they had to decide if Mitchell was guilty of being a serious violent felon in possession of a handgun.After that decision, the jury heard more information and determined Mitchell was a habitual felony offender. After three days of testimony from 19 witnesses, the jury was sent to decide if they believed Mitchell robbed Stimmelators Gentlemen's Club with a gun Aug.12, 2003.After about three hours of deliberation, the jury returned with a guilty verdict around 1:22 p.m. As Mitchell's wife sobbed quietly in the back of the courtroom, Judge Rex Reed informed jury members that phase two of the trial was ready to begin.

Suspect Posts Bond, Details Emerge In Murder

One of the men arrested in connection with the murder of a Milford woman posted a $50,000 bond and was released from the Kosciusko County Jail. The surety bond for Ralph Freddrick Fisher, 46, Goshen, was paid about 8:30 p.m.Friday and he was released.A surety bond is one that is insured by a bondsman.Fisher or someone acting on his behalf must pay 10 percent of the cost of the bond to a bondsman who, in turn, guarantees Fisher's appearance in court.The bonding agent also provides the balance of the bond amount. Jason M.Fisher, 22, of Millersburg, remains in the Kosciusko County Jail on a charge of murder.His bond is set at $1 million, but Kosciusko County Prosecutor Chuck Waggoner has requested the court to revoke that and allow him to be held without bond. The elder Fisher was charged with assisting a criminal after allegedly helping his son dispose of the body of Kathy Vroman, 48.
