INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A Michigan attorney claims in a lawsuit that former Indianapolis prosecutor Carl Brizzi and former Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita used unwarranted charges against her in a cemetery theft scheme to enhance their political reputations.
Sherry Katz-Crank was indicted in 2008 on theft charges related to a scheme to siphon away $24 million set aside to maintain the graves of people who had paid in advance for their funerals. She was later acquitted.
The lawsuit filed last month in federal court in Michigan contends prosecutors ignored evidence in Katz-Crank's favor and that Rokita and Brizzi used her indictment to advance their political careers.
The court issued summonses last week for several defendants, including Rokita, who is now a U.S. representative.
Neither Rokita nor Brizzi returned phone calls seeking comment.
