• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Ryan Hendrick from the WIBC newsroom meets up with the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears because lots of questions about
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Ryan Meers. You have people who believe that Ryan Meres
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: should be investigated.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: For things being done. Well, I should take that back.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You have people who believe that Joe Hogseet should be
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: investigated for things that are being done. And why is
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: it that Ryan Meers isn't moving forward on those things.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Then you have questions about why Ryan Meers doesn't engage
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in prosecutions against well, you know, criminals. If you want
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to tell me that Ryan Mears is doing a top
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: notch job, I'm gonna smile and say bless your heart
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and then say no.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You can't come into my home because he's not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: But being the newsman Ryan Hedrick is who brings you
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the morning news. Here he goes to where Ryan Meers
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is to ask the questions.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Couldy Idioapolis Mayor Joe hogg Set face a criminal investigation?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Meres is discussing what that would
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: look like while defending his office is record on crime.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Mer's comments on Thursday come after Mere India and The
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Indie Star reported that hog Set has shaky connections to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: political donors in city contracts.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: People want to call out the state police. If people
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: want to call out IMPD and say they need to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: investigate Joe hogg Sett, that's fine. And if someone brings
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: us a case and we need to make a decision
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: as to should we file the charge or not, that's
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: something that we can do. One of the first cases
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I prosecuted was a democratically a Democrat elected trustee in
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Wayne Township. We've charged two city and sheriffs this year alone,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: and so if there are elected officials who are accused
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: of rog doing, the Marion County Prosecutor's office sits in
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: a unique position where we have jurisdiction over most things,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: and if it's appropriate, we'll file charges.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's the part that drives people like
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the state Attorney General Todd Rokeana crazy that all the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: powers within these counties and that when they don't act
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: like Ryan Meers doesn't act in a whole host of things,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he can't therefore act. But that's the Marion County prosecutor saying,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: show me where the case is and we'll follow it. Now,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: there's a follow up question of who would believe him,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But let's go back to Ryan Hedrick now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Lately, political leaders in Donut counties have been complaining about
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears in the spillover crime from Indianapolis.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: On Monday, Delaware County commissioners took a vote of no
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: confidence against Meares. He said, every attack against his office
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and the work they do is political.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: It's a good talking point for some people politically, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the reality is to people who are on the streets,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: who are doing the work, I'm grateful for all the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: partnerships that we have, and we wouldn't be able to
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: convict those individuals, and we wouldn't see our homicide numbers
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: decrease unless everybody was coming together to work together with.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: A hold on a second prosecutor.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You think that's because of you. You think numbers are down,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: as they're down across the country, thrilled by the way,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: because of you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We know that a man was shot and killed in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a parking garage. And if it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Wasn't for people like us, people like Fox fifty nine,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: people out in the community hearing the stories from us,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: reading these stories and then demanding something we've done about.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It, we don't think you would have prosecuted at all.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's all politics.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: To notice when you don't prosecute, it's all politics. No
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: part of this is a problem with your politics.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That's bold. That's also bs. You know it, sir, You
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: are fully aware of that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: As a matter of policy, what who's your see is
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you don't want to and it's ideological and that harms Indianapolis.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But don't you dare, don't you dare take credit for
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a number going down. There is nothing that you have done.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That could show that you have a place to take credit.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You want to show your work well, five microphones and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: no waiting, sir. Thank you Ryan Heddrick for going to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: get the story.
