    Weird…

    I googled him and a month ago he announced retiring on 1/17/26, which seems to be when he was murdered.

    Might not even be connected to being a judge, or maybe someone really didn’t want him off the bench?

      The article says that his condition was stabilized, so he wasn’t murdered.

      Also, according to this article, the retirement info you have can’t be right.

      Meyer has been judge in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 for 12 years. He’s in the final year of his second six-year term. Meyer, a Democrat, announced in December that he didn’t plan to run for a third term in 2026.

      The election they’re talking about is in 2026, which makes sense, because if his term was up in January, it would be strange for an elected official to announce his retirement in December.

      Also, I obviously don’t want to make any conclusions about motives, but I can’t help but see the word “Democrat” in that quote from above.
