A jury trial on a trafficking with an inmate charge against former Indiana Reformatory guard David T. Barnes ended in a mistrial after disputed remarks by Deputy Prosecutor Everett McDaniels. Barnes, of Anderson, was fired last summer over a cashing of an inmate’s check and smuggling money inside the walls and is free on $2,000 bond.
