Indiana judge is indicted for his alleged role in his own shooting at White Castle

A southern Indiana judge and two other men were indicted by two Marion County grand juries eight weeks after a late-night scuffle escalated into a shooting outside the White Castle in Downtown Indianapolis.

Two judges, including indicted Clark County Circuit Judge Andrew Adams, 47, were shot during the incident. The other judge who was shot is not being charged.

Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry announced the charges Friday afternoon during a news conference that veered, at times, into a lecture explaining why the investigation of the nonfatal shooting of two public officials needed to happen behind closed doors.

"We understand — we get it — that rumors and speculation will inevitably develop while this sort of process unfolds," Curry said. "Grand jury proceedings are strictly confidential.
