Okay, so we have an update. Ryan Mears having a press conference, the Marion County prosecutor,

joining us now to get an update on what's going on as a result of that press conference,

Ryan Hedrick from the WIBC Newsroom. Ryan Hedrick, we had mentioned this multiple times already today.

We were shocked that these were just misdemeanor charges, apparently not anymore.

Yeah. So Ryan Mears saying about five minutes ago, they have upgraded the battery to a felony,

and I think it's a level six, punishable by maybe a year in prison. These are now more serious

charges. And given the fact that this elderly man was sitting in a neck brace

in a hospital bed, a photo shared by his family to a media outlet here in Indianapolis,

it's no surprise to me that this guy has really severe injuries that include a laceration

on the side of his face where there's a hole in his

face and he can't really even speak right now.

Yeah, that was just so damaging.

I mean, multiple, Max Lewis, many other people posted those photos that came out, but released

by the victim's family.

And I think that was whatever I said, these are misdemeanor.

This is, this gets you a misdemeanor?

Yeah, this is a really quick affidavit.

I can tell you, I've been in the newsroom for more than two years now.

There have been many, many, many, many stabbing on Saturday into Sunday or Friday into Saturday, whatever.

None have warranted a press release from Ryan Mears's office to us on Sunday morning.

It just doesn't happen.

Ryan Hedrick from the WIBC Newsroom is our guest.
