St. Joseph County Prosecutor Ken Cotter

Democratic former Monroe County Prosecutor Chris Gaal has been appointed special prosecutor to review allegations against Sharon McBride, and in another case, against county Republican Party Vice-Chair Marvin "Joe" Layne.

St. Joseph County commissioners say they and Indiana State Police have finished their year-long investigation into former DuComb Center director Sharon McBride, and it's now in the hands of a special prosecutor who officials wouldn't identify.

St. Joseph County Republican Party Vice-Chair Marvin "Joe" Layne faces a misdemeanor battery charge following the November incident in Mishawaka.

Prosecutors say the victim didn't know Myles, who pulled out a gun and shot him in the head over a quick argument
