East Chicago Re-Elects Councilman Facing Murder & Drug Charges

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While "innocent until proven guilty" is all well and good, when it comes to electing officials, one would hope the voting public is at minimum curious when the official is facing murder and drug charges.

Meet Robert "Coop" Battle, East Chicago, Indiana's newly-elected 3rd District Councilman, who spent election day in the Lake County jail...

 

 

As The NWI Times reports,

He's accused of shooting to death on Oct. 12 Reimundo Camarillo Jr., in the 4200 block of Euclid Avenue in East Chicago, according to court records.

 

He also faces a federal drug charge stemming from a traffic stop in Porter County where police found 73.22 grams of marijuana and $100,700 in cash.

 

Despite his pending legal battles that could take months if not years to sort out in the courts, Battle ran unopposed in Tuesday's election.

 

Battle initially said through his then attorney, Walter Alvarez, that he shot Camarillo after Camarillo pulled a knife on him, according to the affidavit. As the conversations continued, Battle said there was no struggle before the shooting, according to court records.

 

On Tuesday, Lake County Criminal Judge Clarence Murray granted the state's motion for a DNA mouth swab from Battle. According to their motion, prosecutors want to compare his DNA to evidence collected at the scene.

 

Battle is expected to appear in court again Nov. 17 seeking to get bail set in the case.

His attorney, John Cantrell, said he is offended by people who are calling for his client to resign.

"He is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty," Cantrell said. "If he is acquitted, he'll keep his job."

East Chicago City Council members made $42,356 a year in 2014, more than five times the average salary of council members of 75 community governments, according to the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns.

East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland said Battle's fate was in the hands of the courts and declined to comment further.

Cantrell said he will keep Battle informed about council business while he is in jail.

Buncich, who is also the county's Democratic chairman, said he is embarrassed about Battle's situation.

"The right thing to do at this time would be to resign, step aside so the East Chicago citizens in the third district can be represented properly," Buncich said.

Standing outside the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, one woman, who did not want to identified, said she voted for Battle and thought he was being ambushed.  "I believe what he said, that the man was attacking him and he was defending himself," she said.  The woman recalled Battle brought her food and water when her brother died.

A voter at the polling place in the 4900 block of Gladiola Avenue who also did not want to be identified described her councilman as a "good guy" who created a summer program for the children in her neighborhood. The woman does worry about how her neighborhood will now be represented.  "How can he represent us when he's facing his own issues," she said.

Zero Hedge has managed to inadvertently become a comedy site. 

The current events and shit I see on here is becoming so laughably corrupt, outlandish, and outright morally bankrupt that I sometimes have a hard time believing I am living in reality anymore. 

Im don't want to live another 60-80 years to put up with this fucking shit.

It seems that people took this in the wrong way. 

I do not mean that Zero Hedge is at fault for being comedy. I meant that the world events in themselves are getting so outrageous that they have become comedy. Thus, since Zero Hedge reports on these events, it has unnintentionally become comedy reporting.

Thats it.

Nothing against Zero Hedge.

East Chicago is actually in Indiana.  I respect Indiana.  Low taxes and a balanced budget, sensible laws (CC),  minimal violence (aside from Gary), but the slime doesn't respect borders.  

He'll get elected with 89% of the vote and legislate from the pokey.

Yeah, in Chicago they overlook the criminal activites and elect them as well as long as their not in prison.

Of course they can't hold an office while in prison.

Melvin "Mel" Reynolds, former United States House of Representatives from Illinois,  resigned from Congress in 1995 after a conviction for statutory rape.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Reynolds

Ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr entered the halfway house in Baltimore on March 26 after about 17 months serving federal prison stints in North Carolina and Alabama. The former lawmaker had at least three months knocked off his sentence for completing a substance abuse program in prison.

FedGOV criminalization of marijuana is itself a crime. This guy should be able to smoke reefer if he wants. The FEDGOV does not have the authority to tell people what drugs they can take or not. The FEDGOV is guilty of crime here.

 

And on the shooting it sounds to me like the guy was defending himself against lethal force with lethal force, not a crime either.

 

What a bullshit article.

No one has the right to tell me or you what I can and what I cannot do with a plant that grows freely on this earth between us, especially if its non-lethal.  The insanity of government.  Who or what gives them that right? Nothing. Period. It grows freely on this earth and I like it, so anyone who thinks they are righteous enough to tell me I cant use it, is unjust. They can go fuck themselves?

It sure as hell isnt "Freedom"   0, zero deaths reported on death certificates from marijuana,  one person dies every 19 min from prescription drugs and Alcohol kills over 100,000 a year.  Prescription OD deaths are way down in areas where weed is legal, wonder why the drug companies dont like weed?

They & women will elect the 'Cunning Runt', hey, they elected Bronko Bomber not once but TWICE. You got to realize that the FSA (Free Shit Army) controls the process.

I'm sorry.....I'm having trouble understanding how he's any different from any other politician, except that he got caught.

There are far too many people of color in prison and for no other reason than they murdered people. I for one am glad the POOTUS has taken charge and will soon end the White Satan's reign of terror. <sent from my Obamaphone>

What Hillary, Obama, Boehner, Reid, Pelosi, and McConnell have done is far worse than murder and drugs!

He fits the demoncrat profile. Embrace the suck you support.Terminally Naive and Unjustifiably Arrogant Americans.

“I'm still discovering, right up to this moment, that it is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith. I mean living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures, experiences and perplexities. In so doing, we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God.”
