Top 10 Court Cases


I figured my first Top 10 List should be directly related to my actual job at the Press, which is covering the court system. I began my beat as court reporter in October of 2009 and to say I've seen it all would be an understatement. Here are the Top 10 Court Cases I've covered in my nearly two years in Middletown

  1. Antonio Inglis Murder Trial - This was actually my first trial ever. It was emotional for everyone involved and I'll never forget it.

  2. Tot Smokes Pot On Video - This was a crazy story and received national coverage.

  3. HILL NOT GUILTY OF MURDER - The defendant was convicted of a lesser charge after a jury deliberated for nearly three days. I thought the murder charge was a slam dunk -jury thought different.

  4. John Belanger Charged With Wife's Murder - The victim reportedly named her attacker with her dying breath.

  5. Murdered Over A Cello? - A disturbed man considered killing a fellow classmate rather than admit that he lost the cello she let him borrow.

  6. Price Chopper Stripper - A Cromwell man stripped down to his underwear while dancing outside the popular supermarket.

  7. Man Survives Point Blank Shooting - I don't know how the victim survived but thankfully he did.

  8. Distraught Man Sets House On Fire - He was going through a divorce and allegedly burnt his home to the ground rather than let his ex-wife have it.

  9. Woman Steals Co-Workers Identity - If what the police say is true, the lengths she allegedly went through to ruin her co-workers life are unbelievable.

  10. Woman Sent To Jail For Negligent Homicide & Burglaries - A tragic story of a seemingly good person driven to crime because of her addictions.
