ghost of miles Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 Thanks so much to all of you for your thoughts and condolences. They do help one deal with the loss. A tremendous amount of people came to both the calling and the funeral, including many in the Indianapolis law enforcement community, and we were all touched by the stories we heard and the love that was expressed for my mother. I've been out of commission with a severe cold for the past several days (many family members came down with it after the calling), but hopefully am on the upswing now. In the meantime, I wanted to post one last item, which appeared in the Indianapolis Star's Sunday column "Behind Closed Doors," which, despite the racy title, actually is a beat column about the Indpls. police and prosecutor's office: She will be missed For thousands of crime victims and defendants, Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Carole Johnson was the most powerful person in law enforcement. Johnson, who died March 28 of cancer, decided if a shooting death would lead to a charge of murder or reckless homicide. As the felony screener in the prosecutor's office, Johnson decided if a defendant could face a life in prison or still have a chance at freedom if convicted. Her decisions were not always popular, but friends say the cases she filed were always supported by the evidence. Phil Blowers, a deputy prosecutor, said she faced her illness with courage and grace. "She will never be forgotten. She had a tremendous impact on all of our lives," Blowers said. "She leaves a great void." Compiled from reports by Star reporters Mary Beth Schneider, Kevin Corcoran, John Fritze and Vic Ryckaert. Quote
