Vigo Court Reversed in Fatal Crash
Indiana Supreme Court ordered the immediate release of Terre Haute man Herbert Wayne Patton after reversing Vigo Circuit Court on a faulty affidavit count. Patton, 36, faced reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter charges in the July 4, 1960 Terre Haute crash that killed Richard Michael Joseph Jr. The court ruled the second charge lacked causation detail and that joining counts in one affidavit allowed only one sentence. The involuntary manslaughter conviction was reversed and Patton was freed.
