A judge could dismiss the death penalty and life without parole enhancements against the man accused of killing IMPD Officer Breann Leath VicRyc
During a hearing Friday, Marion Superior Court Judge Mark Stoner ordered prosecutors to show evidence that Elliahs Dorsey knew Leath was a police officer when he allegedly fired shots through an apartment door and killed her in 2020.
If they can't, Stoner could dismiss the death penalty and life without parole enhancements in Dorsey's murder case.Leath’s mother said there’s no doubt in her mind that Dorsey deserves the death penalty. "He killed my child, you know, and it's never gonna be okay, it's never gonna be alright," Jennifer Leath said."We just need justice for her."
On April 9, 2020, Leath and three other officers were answering a domestic disturbance call at an east-side apartment complex near 21st Street and Shadeland Avenue when they knocked on a door. Prosecutors say Dorsey fired shots through the closed door, striking Leath. She died of two gunshots to the head.Dorsey has been charged with murder, four counts of attempted murder, criminal confinement and battery.
