The 251 criminal homicides during 2021 were, to some residents, an indictment of the progressive-leaning prosecutor. They stoked fears in some observers that Mears' controversial policies not to prosecute certain low-level crimes, like possession of marijuana, may be sending a broader message to criminals that Marion County is open for business.After the fall of Roe v.
Mears says he won’t prosecute certain crimes because of the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. That clause says everyone needs to be equally protected under the law. Marijuana laws and abortion laws disproportionately affect Hoosiers of color and women, respectively, Mears has said. “’Sorry, it’s the law, you can’t drink out of that water fountain, you’re going to jail. Sorry, it’s the law, you can’t sit on this bus.’”
It’s difficult to pinpoint the influence a single agency like the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office — one of multiple offices that churn criminal justice here — has on total crime numbers.
