10 YEARS LATER
THURSDAY, NOV. 7, 2013
Jim Campbell can’t recall the first time he met Michael McKinney, but he remembers he was laughing. The alumnus hasn’t heard his fraternity member and friend’s laughter in 10 years, but it is still clear in his mind.
“I miss him,
but the tears are gone,”

Campbell said. “But it is the laughter that I remember the most.”
Attorney may press charges for report
On Nov. 8, 2003, University Police Department rookie officer Robert Duplain shot and killed McKinney, after the Ball State senior attempted to enter what he thought to be his friend’s house. Four UPD officers responded to a burglary call around 3 a.m. at 1325 W. North St. Two more experienced officers were blocked by a 6-foot wooden fence and one searched the front of the building. An officer who had been with UPD for seven months, 24-year-old Duplain, entered the backyard alone. There, he met McKinney, who had been drinking with his friends and later was found to have a .343 blood alcohol content.
County prosecutor could receive false informing case for university
According to police reports, he charged Duplain and would not yield to the officer’s orders, and Duplain felt threatened.

Three hit the student in the chest. One hit his head. LOSING A BROTHER
Some of the first people to hear about his death were his fraternity members at Delta Chi. Phil Juskevice, a Delta Chi brother, said McKinney was supposed to end up at his house the night he was killed. The next morning, Juskevice left work when he heard McKinney was at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital and gathered with other Delta Chi members at his house to learn more as the situation progressed. “You don’t know what the story was at that point when you initially hear it,” he said. “It’s a shock — your body goes numb when you hear something like that. You don’t know what happened, you don’t know who is to blame.” Ben Brooks said he was away at his sister’s wedding when his roommate told him about the death. “I just fell down and just started crying,” he said. Nick Koesters, a Delta Chi one year below McKinney, was at home for a couple of family members’ birthdays when another brother called him asking what was wrong with McKinney. “Right then, I knew something was wrong,” he said. “It still gives me shivers down my back.”

PROJECT 10K FAILS TO MEET TURNOUT GOAL
EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY
Every year, McKinney’s mother, Lisa, said their family gathers together with his local friends. Many of his fraternity members call her to offer MICHAEL their support. “There are a number of boys that call us every McKINNEY, year on the anniversary of his death, that call us on a student who his birthday,” she said. “For probably six or seven UPD shot, killed years, these boys would even come down here and Nov. 8, 2003 support us and talk about Michael and share with us. They’ve been support for my family.” His sister, Rosie, was an 18-year old freshman at IU when he died. Her last conversation with her brother was two days prior to his death — on her birthday — to make plans to see him. “I was like, ‘My friends are going to come up to Ball State and party with you,’” she said. “And he was like ‘absolutely not.’”

University Police Department makes changes 10 years after student was shot
President of Dance Marathon guesses 3,000 students came KAITLIN LANGE STAFF REPORTER | kllange@bsu.edu
The athletic department and Ball State Dance Marathon were unsuccessful in the attempt to get 10,000 students to the game Wednesday night despite Ball State’s win. Official numbers for the amount of students in attendance were not available directly after the game, but Emily Probst, BSUDM president, said she estimated BIG SCORES about 3,000 students showed up.

He estimated there were closer to 5,000 students there. “I think that given the weather conditions and the cold, the halfway mark is impressive,” Brown said.
The fraternity members had lost someone important to them. “A life was ended, but a relationship wasn’t,” Koesters said.
Officers are required to train through state academy, unit maintains full accreditation EMMA KATE FITTES NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com The University Police Department has made some changes in the 10 years since an officer shot and killed a Ball State student while responding to a robbery. Tony Proudfoot, a university spokesperson, said now UPD requires new hires to complete a 15-week training program at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and a 15-week Field Training program at Ball State. This year, he said, university officers averaged 116 hour of training.
See BSUDM, page 6
In 2012, Gene Burton, chief of police, told the Daily News that police officers have one year after being hired to attend the police academy, but he encourages them to go as soon as possible. UPD received its first full Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies accreditation in December 2007 and again in 2011. According to a press release from 2011, receiving accreditation includes a 36-month self-assessment and complying with almost 500 standards. On Nov. 8, 2013, four UPD officers responded to a burglary call around 3 a.m. at 1325 W. North St. Senior Michael McKinney was banging on the back door, trying to confuse his friends after a night of drinking. Robert Duplain, a 24-year-old rookie officer, fired four shots, hitting McKinney three times in the chest and once in the head. According
to police reports, McKinney charged Duplain and would not yield to the officer’s orders, and Duplain felt threatened. It was later determined that McKinney was unarmed and had a .343 blood alcohol content. A 2003 internal investigation and 2008 lawsuit found that Duplain followed police procedures. According to Daily News reports, at the time of the incident, Duplain had not yet attended the police academy, but completed 24 hours of classroom instruction and 14 hours of field training. He had not been trained to use nonlethal weapons yet. The $100 million lawsuit the McKinney family filed in November 2003 backed up the officer when a jury determined Duplain did not use excessive force and ended the legal battle in Feb. 4, 2008.

Dalton Duncan said his favorite “My Little Pony” character is Big McIntosh on the right. His plushie is signed by Peter New, who voices the TV show’s character.
HOWE 72HRS EDITOR | RYAN rhowe@bsu.edu
He sat silently among friends with his eyes glued to the TV. The sounds of “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” filled the room. For 22 minutes, Dalton Duncan was in a MLP trance, only breaking his silence to laugh. “So what did everyone think of the episode?” Duncan asked after the TV went black. An avalanche of excitement took over. Talking over one another, they talked about the things they liked, loved and what could have been changed about the episode “Luna Eclipsed.” It’s a weekly ritual for the Ball State University Bronies. Simply put, a bronie is a super fan of MLP. A bronie can be a man or a woman, old or young. “When people think of bronies, they automatically think of men sitting around watching ‘My Little Pony’ all day,” Duncan said. “That may be true for some of us, but I’d say there are just as many women who are bronies. The term is just a way for us to recognize we all love the same thing.” For the junior telecommunications major, being a bronie is a lot more than just watching the TV show. Duncan started watching the show when he was depressed. MLP offered him an escape, unlike the other cartoons he watches. It introduced him to

friends at college and introduced him to his girlfriend. “The show is so lighthearted and innocent that it’s nice to just get lost in it,” he said. “When me or my girlfriend are having a bad day, we will watch an episode or two to cheer us up.” He has seen every episode, attended conventions, bought more than $200 worth of merchandise and has every song and the remixes on his iTunes. Duncan may be a superfan, but some bronies just like the show. Zachary Isaacs, a sophomore architecture major, started watching the show when he was a senior in high school. After the first couple episodes, he was hooked. He has watched every episode, sometimes more than once. Isaacs hasn’t always been so open about the show, however. “At first, I thought it was weird that I liked the show being a guy in high school,” he said. “I kept it a secret for a while. Eventually, I told my friends and made them watch an episode.” When Isaacs came to Ball State, he became more open about his love for the show. He joined the Facebook group Ball State University Bronies and this year, he started attending the weekly meetings. Isaacs said he is big fan of the animation. He often draws out ponies of his own and puts
them on Tumblr, a popular blogging website. “The storyline and animation are so pure and innocent,” he said. “It’s a nice break from the other cartoons floating around today.” Even though the students meet weekly, the organization has yet to become a club. Kimberly Holtz, the group’s president, is in the process of getting the club’s constitution finalized before moving forward. “I’m hoping to get it to be recognized by the university before Spring Semester starts,” the sophomore education major said. Holtz started organizing meetings through the bronies’ Facebook page at the beginning of the semester. The meetings started out small, but they continue to grow with help from Isaacs’ posters and word of mouth. The group’s adviser Kazumi Matsumoto, an assistant professor of Japanese, approached the club and was willing to help out and get the club on its feet. Holtz is ready to get the club up and running next semester and she said she hopes more bronies will come and “brohoof,” the bronie handshake, with other students who love MLP. “The group is just a great place to come hang out with people who love the same things we do,” Holtz said. “It’s a better place to relate with other bronies, other than the Internet.”

21-0 start during game gave Lembo comfortable win McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR | MATT @Matt_D_McKinney On a drive early in the second quarter, Ball State faced a 2nd and 6 at Central Michigan University’s 30-yard line. Out of the shotgun, senior quarterback Keith Wenning calmly looked left at senior wide receiver Jamill Smith. After a second’s pause, Wenning threw to Smith, who had broken free of the defense and was wide open at the 10-yard line. Smith made the grab and then dashed into the end zone for Ball State’s third touchdown of the game. It was too easy — just like the rest of Ball State’s night. The offense was clicking all night, leading to a 44-24 win over Central Michigan. From the opening drive, it was clear it was going to be a productive night for Ball State’s offense. After receiving the kickoff, Ball State marched 75 yards in nine plays, taking 3:51 off the clock. Wenning threw six passes on the drive, with junior running back Jahwan Edwards adding in three runs. Ball State didn’t face a third down in the entire drive. The drive was finished with Wenning hitting sophomore wide receiver Jordan Williams for an 8-yard touchdown. Wenning also hit junior wide receiver Willie Snead for two touchdowns in the win. Snead caught his on a playaction fake that fooled the entire Central Michigan defense. On a Ball State drive late in the second quarter, it faced a 4th and 6 at Central Michigan’s 35yard line. Looking at a 51-yard field goal, head coach Pete Lembo elected to go for it.

While Lembo didn’t think about it during the game, he said it “felt like a good balance.” “You like to be balanced,” Lembo said. “You know there’s some times where you’re going to need to run it. ... It was nice to see us run the ball effectively. I think we’re going to turn the film on tomorrow and feel good about the push the oline got.” Both teams then also traded field goals in the first half.

me a lot of motivation and a lot of will to go out there and practice harder and work harder.” By breaking the record, he passed the old title holder, Darius Hill, who set it in 2007 with 11 catches. “I’m looking forward to when I see it,” Snead said. “When I hear about it, I’m going to be happy. But for now I’ve got move on — we’ve got Northern Illinois [University] next week.”
MAC SEMIFINAL FEATURES REMATCH
Roberts’ expects similarity to finale in regular season
|
EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan
For the third time ever — and first since 2007 — Ball State will play in the Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinals. Friday’s match against Miami University marks an accomplishment, but it does not satisfy a team with eyes set on grander goals. “It’s something you have to celebrate,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “When you work for something, you need to take joy in it, and we are still reveling.” With just one preseason vote to win the MAC this season, the Cardinals seemed to have an irrational sense of confidence
thinking the team could win the conference and garner the automatic NCAA Tournament bid that comes along with it. But then the wins started piling up, reaching double digits for the first time since 2007. Now after a come-frombehind 2-1 victory over No. 3 seed Central Michigan University in the quarterfinals has Ball State two wins away from being crowned champion. The resiliency Ball State showed against Central Michigan makes the team an even tougher out, Roberts said. The No. 6 Cardinals are the lowest ranked team left in the tournament, something that Roberts relishes. “We’re kind of like an obsolete child,” he said with a grin. “But when you win, you get respect, and now I think teams have to take us seriously.” Ball State dropped its match against Miami 2-3 in a rainy,
sloppy match on Halloween. The Cardinals outshot and in many aspects outperformed the RedHawks, and Roberts said one or two mistakes and bad breaks cost the team. Because of that, Roberts said he expects a similar match with many of the same systems and tendencies on display Friday. Roberts has settled into a defined rotation, utilizing either speedy wingers or controlling midfielders, after mixing and matching all season. And while he said he is not settled on a starting lineup, he sees the variability as a good problem for him and a burden for Miami. The last two rounds of the tournament will be played at No. 1 seed Eastern Michigan University’s Scicluna Field, where Ball State was one of just three teams to beat the Eagles on its home field. To get ready for the grass field and the slower play that

comes along with it, Roberts said his team has stepped off the turf of the Briner Sports Complex and practiced on a natural surface this week. Now in his fourth year, with a program that is full of his players playing his system, Roberts said this is the model for where he wants Ball State to be every year. “We have a really young team,” he said. “This is just the beginning. We will continue to be a strong program for years.”
Kylee Baker didn’t mince words. “That loss never should have happened in the first place,” she said. Ball State’s senior outside hitter remembers what happened the first time Ball State played the University of Toledo. With a 2-0 Mid-American Conference record, the women’s volleyball team traveled to Toledo in hopes of returning with a pristine 3-0 mark. That didn’t happen. Toledo’s Lauren Rafdal went off for 28 kills in a four-set victory for the home team and left Ball State’s undefeated record shattered on the court. “All I want to do is beat Toledo after what happened,” Baker said. “It left such a bitter taste in my mouth,” It’s no surprise that she doesn’t have fond memories of the match, as she was barely a factor in the loss. She registered two kills on 16 attempts. Ball State as a whole played poorly that night. Sophomore outside hitter Alex Fuelling led the team with 16 kills, but it took her 45 attempts to get there. The Cardinals hit just .177 for the match and committed 28 attack errors, half of them coming from Fuelling and senior Mindy Marx. The only thing that will change between the two teams is the logo underneath the net. This time, the teams will face off tonight at Worthen Arena in Ball State’s final home match. Head coach Steve Shondell doesn’t expect to see changes from Toledo. He said Toledo has the same
us, actually.” Senior libero Catie Fredrich also made it clear that she was upset with losing to Toledo and wants to even the score. “At this point, it means everything,” Baker said. “This is it — it’s all on the line.” Ball State comes into the match in first place in the MAC West at 10-2 while Toledo trails at 9-3. A win would put Ball State a minimum of two games ahead of everybody else in the West with just three matches left, giving them a stranglehold on the conference. A loss would give the two teams identical 10-3 records, and Toledo would own the tiebreaker for sweeping Ball State. The Cardinal offense could get a lift from a healthy Fuelling. The outside hitter has missed the last four games after spraining her ankle in practice but is expected to play against Toledo. Despite hitting just .200 against Toledo earlier, Fuelling is Ball State’s most aggressive offensive target. Fuelling’s impact on the game could go a long way. Toledo ranks 10th out of 12 in the MAC in both opposing hitting percentage at .211 and digs with 15.11 per set and has struggled throughout the season at defending strong outside hitters. With the close of the regular season just a little more than a week away, each match’s significance is magnified. Especially one in which a win could all but seal up the MAC West. “Rip them apart,” Fredrich said.
EARLY STARTS GIVE OUTSIDE HITTER QUICK EXPERIENCE Senior started first match of freshman season, played well DAVID POLASKI ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | @DavidPolaski There wasn’t much of a freshman adjustment period for Kylee Baker. Now a senior, Ball State’s outside hitter was immediately thrown into the game when she was a freshman. In her first collegiate match, Baker threw down 15 kills against The Citadel with just one error and a .609 attacking percentage. The next day, she had 15 more. Although fans may not have seen it, Baker was nervous on the inside. “You go from club matches, which is just your parents, to this huge arena,” Baker said. “Then you go on the road where you’re getting heckled, and it’s intimidating.” Baker saw action in every match as a freshman and started all but one. She would finish the season with 318 kills, just 30 shy of the team’s leader as the team went 14-2 in the MidAmerican Conference. “When she came in, I saw a lot of potential in her,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “She was mainly an offensive player and now as she’s leaving, she’s a much more complete player.” As a sophomore, Baker saw herself take more of a backseat to Kara Bates. Her kills dropped to 219 for the season. Last season, Baker had to deal with a severe setback as she ruptured a disk in her back
SENIORITY KYLEE BAKER, A SENIOR OUTSIDE HITTER • 803 career kills • 101 matches • Career-high 18 kills vs. IPFW and Western Michigan University in 2010 and was forced to miss the rest of her season. Although she’s healthy now, she still feels the effects of the injury. She missed a game earlier this season after tweaking her back in practice and often emerges postgame with ice tied to her back. Despite the lingering effects, Shondell sees her as one of the best all-around players on the team. “She’s a good blocker, one of the top passers in the conference and one of our leading diggers,” he said. “Her biggest improvements have come in the back count and she’s our best server this year.” As a senior, Baker has been both a player and a mentor, helping younger players learn while contributing on the court. This season, she’s given Ball State 169 kills, second highest out of the team’s outside hitters. “When you start out young, you learn those leadership skills quickly,” senior defensive specialist Catie Fredrich said. “Now, we’re the leaders, and it’s our turn.”

The beat of a song begins pumping through the crowd of people. Jordan Moody, the man behind the party, looks at the tempo and measures the beat, feeding on the crowd’s energy. The sound pounds in his ears and vibrates through his fingertips. The junior telecommunications major begins to mix in another song. The basses flow together and converge until the climax of the song, where he kicks into high gear with another tune, setting the dance floor into waves of partygoers jumping to the beat. Moody, who performs as Jordnmoody is “taking them into a musical journey,” the best way he can describe being a DJ in the midst of a party. “It’s definitely a rush once you get one song going and then the second song — you’re vibing out the crowd, and then you let it go,” he said. Moody was selected to represent Ball State tonight in Bloomington, Ind. Red Bull Thre3style University handpicked five students to represent their schools in the competition, where they will compete for Indiana Champion. Each student DJ will have 15 minutes to exhibit their best spinning and mixing skills and shoot for the title. The winner will receive a $1,000 prize.

Florida Georgia Line win big at CMAs with ‘Cruise’ Hosts keep guests laughing with jokes, Robin Thicke parody | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley scored single and vocal duo of the year. Their quick tally was more proof the so-called bro country movement is the sound of the moment in mainstream country. The duo kicked off the show by performing a fist-pumping medley with Luke Bryan and very quickly returned to the stage to take the trophy for single of the year for their “Cruise” remix featuring Nelly. They also played the new song “Round Here.” “It’s been a constant thing all year — we’ve been trying
to wrap our minds around what’s going on,” Hubbard said backstage. “It’s been a dream come true for us and a huge blessing for us and something we could have never imagined.” Hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley got the show going on a jovial note as they took the stage with their opening skit, first joking about feuds in music. They also skewered the Affordable Care Act to a Nashville audience that roared with approval. They also brought out the guys from the hit show “Duck Dynasty” and parodied Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.” SINGLE OF THE YEAR

No cover charge Moody, he said, so he has little to no time to enjoy the party on the other side of the speakers in the few days of freedom he gets between classes. Saligoe is a professional, full-time DJ in Indianapolis and has performed for the past eight years. Moody said it would be a dream come true to be a full-time DJ, but Saligoe said it’s a tough road. Like learning to play the guitar, he said someone can’t “just go up there and expect to shred like Jimi Hendrix.” “It can be quite challenging and it takes a lot of work — not just to be physically out there at the events, but they have to have a professional understanding on how to market themselves and how to be diverse and not be locked into one party genre,” Saligoe said. Saligoe and Moody both agreed being a DJ requires much more work and skill than most people think. Saligoe said there’s simply no way DJs can be replaced by an iTunes playlist. “I do think turntables are instruments,” he said. “You think about what you’re trying to convey. You have control over people’s emotions. ... It’s not just the tactile side of flipping and scratching the records.” Editor’s note: Jordan Moody is a former Daily News reporter.

ativity, mixing skills, stage presence and crowd reaction. Indianapolisnative Nick Saligoe, also known as DJ MetroGnome, helped organize the event, pick the competitors and will be a judge. “Naturally, Indiana has quite a lot of talent in this,” he said. “People tend to overlook the amount of talent we have. We have a rich DJ scene in not just Indianapolis, but in the college areas, too.” Saligoe said Moody was on his list of notable DJs and was recommended by many other area DJs, with whom he consulted. Saligoe said Moody has a lot of talent and a distinct style, which got him into the lineup. Moody has been mixing for three years and performs near Ball State and IU. He first got a taste of the trade when he snuck into a Muncie bar his freshman year and saw a DJ busting out mixes. Walking away from the dance floor that night, he said he knew what he wanted to do. “It’s kind of like being a one man band,” Moody said. “You’re up there doing your own thing.” Moody described his style as reaching several genres, from ‘90s hip-hop to electronic dance music. Getting ready for battle, Moody prepared since Sunday and pulled all-nighters to put together the perfect playlist, fitting songs together like a jigsaw puzzle, mapping out the transitions and mixes. He said he hopes this competition will put him on the map. Moody listens for tempo, beat, bass, genre and a dozen other musical keys when creating a playlist. He said he hopes his diversity in music choice will set him apart in the competition. DJing takes up every weekend for

SGA introduces bill for stance on HJR-6 Senators plan to ask for student feedback on marriage equality
|
RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER rmpodnar@bsu.edu
The Student Government Association introduced a referendum during its meeting Wednesday to encourage Ball State to take a public stance against House Joint Resolution 6, which would recognize marriage in Indiana as distinctly between a man and a woman. The first reading was only to raise awareness of the referendum, and SGA Senate will
vote on it at its next meeting. If HJR-6 is passed in Indiana, it will write the definition of marriage into the state’s constitution, and it will bar similar legal structures like civil unions and will threaten domestic partnership benefits. Jack Hesser, SGA pro tempore and co-author of the referendum, urged senators to take initiative to talk to their constituents during the upcoming week to gauge reactions to this referendum. “This is one of those times when you have to own up and not just talk to your closest friends,” he said. “If they choose not to sponsor it, that’s fine, but it needs to be [talked about].”
University Provost Terry King encouraged SGA to propose the referendum so the organization can make an official recommendation to the University Senate, which will vote on a recommendation to the university Nov. 14. SGA President Chloe Anagnos and Vice President Alyssa France, along with Hesser, are the only student members of University Senate. Their three votes on this issue will represent the view of the student body. The resolution cites The Beneficence Pledge that the Ball State community pledges to “act in a socially responsible way ... and to value the intrinsic worth of every member of the community.”

Scheumann Stadium remains empty at the start of the football game Wednesday evening against Central Michigan University. Ball State Dance Marathon’s plans for filling the stadium with 10,000 students in order to raise money for Riley Hospital for Children with the athletic department fell short of its intended goal due partially to the weather.
BSUDM: Athletics plans to boost turnout at future games using different events | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We put more students through the gates on a Wednesday night than Homecoming did. We know we worked hard and did our part.” Although the organization didn’t reach its ultimate goal, the athletic department will give BSUDM a dollar for each student if more than 5,000 students came to the game, so BSUDM still could receive some money. “Obviously, we were hoping to get to that 10,000 mark, but in my opinion, this was not a downfall for anybody,” Probst said. “We got more students to the game and part of our mission statement is not only to raise money, but to raise awareness and that’s exactly what this is.” The group had promoted the event through fliers, its Facebook page, newspaper advertisements and by going group to group to pitch the project. The athletic department also gave away Tshirts to the first 2,000 students who came, a free 2014 GMC Terrain and numerous prizes during half time. At each gate members students were counted by clickers and turnstiles. Each student who entered was
counted regardless of how long they stayed at the game. Brian Hardin, deputy athletics director, said he hopes to continue working on other ways to get students to games, although
he said he probably won’t try the same project again. “Maybe we bit off more than we could chew,” he said. “But I don’t want to ever stop dreaming big.”
According to Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy, found in the Faculty and Professional Personnel Handbook, Ball State provides equal opportunity in hiring and personnel matters, including employee benefits. Con Sullivan, co-author of the resolution and political science graduate student, said Ball State’s policies are already contrary to HJR-6, and so the university needs to take a stance. “We are the most educated people in the state,” Sullivan said. “We should not just sit on the sidelines. This is something we should take a stance on, whether it is for or against.” At the meeting, SGA dis-
cussed a bill that proposes a $6,000 allotment specifically for Greek Life co-sponsorships and it was sent to the finance committee during its third reading on the SGA Senate floor. The co-sponsorship committee, where the bill was last sent, recommended the bill be voted down because it violates cosponsorship guidelines. Senator Aric Hopper read the committee’s recommendations, stressing that co-sponsorship money is used specifically to fund events and cannot be used for events off-campus, recruitment money, scholarships or funding tutoring services. “[This bill] sets a dangerous precedent for any organiza-
tion that wants money from SGA,” Hopper said. “It shows a bias of SGA towards Greek Life. Any time an organization wants funding, they will come to us [first], which is not the appropriate place.” The finance committee will see the bill, where it will be adjusted before it is brought back to the floor once again. A resolution by Hesser and Richu Aby, another senator, to increase vegan dining options was given its first reading. The resolution recommends hot vegan meals to be served at least once a week, something the authors said dining is already working on. It will be read again in the meeting next week.

The charge of false informing can result in either a Class B misdemeanor, meaning up to 180 days in prison and a fine of no more than $1,000, or a Class A misdemeanor resulting in imprisonment of no more than one year and a fine of no more than $5,000. The crime would be changed from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor if the report substantially hinders the law enforcement process or results in the harm of an innocent person, Arnold said. He said he would be more in-
clined to pursue a case against Pizzano on the charges of obstruction of justice. The exact charges Pizzano could face would be fact specific. Arnold said he hopes Ball State will pass the case on to his office. “I consider that pretty serious when you tie up that many police officers [and] manpower,” he said. “The whole university is getting a text alert, you may or may not have had people rushing to the scene that puts people in danger — those are pretty serious issues.”
STABBING: Charges for false police report may include obstruction of justice, felony Pizzano received nine stitches to a wound in his upper left tricep at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, where the police found out about the incident. The charges that Arnold would consider filing, if the university passes the case to him, would include obstruction of justice and false informing. Obstruction of justice is a Class D felony that can result in six months to three years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000, according to Indiana’s laws.

McKINNEY: ‘It has left a giant void in all of our hearts,’ says sister of dead student | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Much of the time after his death was a blur for her. “It was a tragic event for all of us and it has left a giant void in all of our hearts,” she said. “If you talk to his friends, they will tell you the same thing. It has been hard to go on without him. We have great memories of him, and we will never forget him.” His mother said he was a fun loving guy. “I miss him every day of my life,” she said. His sister said his family wants students to remember her brother and be aware of the events that led to his death 10 years ago. “We want the students to be aware of the situation, considering that they weren’t there when this all happened,” she said. “We want this to be fresh in their mind that this can happen, but to remember my brother, as well.”

Campbell said living at the fraternity house was “nonstop funny,” including one time when they got into a war with some other brothers. “Mike’s retaliation is to go buy a boatload of crickets and unleash them in their room,” he said. “That’s the kind of thing he did.” Campbell said McKinney also was always there to talk to, even when he first met him.
“It was truly an amazing amount of devotion from a man who had known me for a year,” he said. Campbell said he left Muncie after McKinney’s death. “I lost that person I could call and just dump on to with no regrets or retaliations,” he said. “It took me several years to really pull myself out of the funk I put myself in once he died. It sucks, I’ve thought about him every day since. I can’t not do it. I’ve had grandparents pass since then, and it was tragic and it hurts, but they weren’t ripped away like Mike was.” He said his wife didn’t feel safe in Muncie after that, so they left. “I use to love Muncie, which is really a shame,” he said. “I really liked going to Ball State, I liked that town and I had so many friends and wonderful people there. ... I think our paths would have taken a very different path if he were still alive.” McKinney’s sister said he was the type of person to spread the fun around. “Everyone loved to be around him and was always smiling,” she said. “He was the teddy bear of the group.” She said her brother was getting ready to graduate and had an interview for a future job set up. “He was so excited about that,” she said. “He may not always have been the best at school, but he loved to have
a good time.” Juskevice said part of McKinney’s humor was to add comic relief to whatever situation he was in. “[He was] always being the kind of guy who was the light of the room,” he said. “He and I just gravitated towards each other. We just became best friends.” One of the last laughs McKinney gave Brooks was with his Halloween costume. “I still have an email from him, it was sent three or four days before he died,” he said. “He’s dressed up as George Costanza for Halloween that year, cut his hair, had the glasses on and everything. You know if that tells you anything about McKinney.” Koesters said the costume tells another side of who McKinney was. “He ended up sporting that bald haircut for probably two weeks,” he said. “Most people are overly concerned with their image, their looks. He didn’t really worry about it.” About a month ago, Juskevice sent an email to several Delta Chi members asking for pictures of McKinney to use in his wedding, including Campbell. Campbell said someone beat him to it with a picture of McKinney in aviator sunglasses, a “Top Gun” hat and chewing tobacco in his mouth. “You look at it, and you can’t but instantly fall into laughter

UPD: Officers allowed to use deadly force if someone’s life is being threatened | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to UPD’s Use of Force Policy in 2009, an officer has three levels of force to control a subject: No force tactics, such as verbal commands; less-than-deadly force, such as impact weapons; and deadly force, which includes firearms. Deadly force can be used if the officer believes it is necessary and appropriate for the situation or if the officer’s life or others’ lives are threatened, according to the policy. Since the 911 caller hung up the phone on dispatch, police did not know if McKinney was armed or not. McKinney’s mother, Lisa, said she doesn’t think university police should carry firearms. “I think it’s the responsibility of them to contact the local police force, who do this all the time and have more experience, but that hasn’t happened,” she said. Proudfoot said officers are trained and certified to carry weapons, which is no different than other law enforcement agencies. Friends of McKinney con-
tinue to question whether or not Duplain should have felt threatened. “Mikey was not in any way intimidating,” his sister, Rosie, said. “If anything, the guy probably could have pushed him, and he would have fallen down to the ground and fallen asleep.” Ben Brooks, his friend and fraternity member, said McKinney wasn’t a threat, even if he was drinking. “I still cannot believe any of the stuff that was said about that night,” he said. “He was never an aggressive person, even in that state. It never added up to me.” Campus’ outlook on UPD changed, said Nick Koesters, another of McKinney’s friends. “There was a little bit of animosity toward the university and police departments because I feel like after that, they went into self-preservation mode,” he said. “They were backed into a corner. They were more concerned with protecting Ball State than reaching out and saying, ‘This is a horrible situation, but it’s got to be more horrible for you. You lost your son, what can we do to help you?’”
UPD has not yet spoken about the incident in 2003. Burton referred the Daily News to Proudfoot, as the department has since Proudfoot joined Ball State in 2007. “I seem to remember a lot of students asking for an apology,” Jon Seidel, an alumnus and former Daily News reporter who followed the story, said. “And it’s a shame when something happens, and the people in charge can’t give an apology because they are in litigation. Sometimes, just hearing the words ‘I’m sorry’ means a lot. ... Ten years out, I think it’s a shame that the police department can’t talk about this.” Lisa McKinney said she didn’t hear anything from the university directly, except for when they sent her son’s diploma. “I have to admit, my husband and I were not enamored by their response to us and the aftermath of this terrible tragedy, so we would wish more had been done,” she said. “We want to make sure no student ever has to fear for their life from their own campus police officers.” Steven Williams and Sam Hoyt contributed to this story.
BALL STATE SENIOR’S DEATH, EVENTS FOLLOWING Nov. 8, 2003 UPD rookie officer Robert Duplain arrives at the scene and fires four shots at Michael McKinney, killing him.
Feb. 9, 2004 The McKinney family files a $100 million federal civil rights lawsuit against Ball State and Duplain.
Nov. 11, 2003 Autopsy reveals McKinney was shot once in the face and three times in the chest.
Nov. 23, 2004 Ball State is dropped from McKinney’s lawsuit.
Nov. 19, 2003 Toxicology reports show McKinney had a .343 blood alcohol content at the time of the shooting.
Jan. 22, 2008 McKinney v. Duplain starts in Indianapolis U.S. District Court.
Dec. 29, 2003 A grand jury decides Duplain will not face criminal charges.
Feb. 4, 2008 Jury decides ex-Ball State officer did not use excessive force against McKinney.
