A court has granted a motion by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita for a new judge in a case brought on by an Indianapolis doctor being investigated by Rokita's office for performing an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim.
Rokita's motion for a change of judge was granted this week following a Monday status conference in the lawsuit filed by attorneys for Caitlin Bernard, M.D., who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio before Indiana's new abortion law went into effect.During the status conference, attorneys debated whether Bernard's request for a preliminary injunction is an emergency hearing that can be conducted in light of Rokita's motion for a change of judge.
Defendants in the case include Rokita and Scott Barnhart, director of the Consumer Protection Division of the Indiana Attorney General's Office. Bernard's attorney responded with a written statement provided to WRTV as well as the legal documents showing that she had properly reported the abortion within the legally required timeframe. WRTV also filed an open records request and obtained the same records from DCS.
