I'm not Frenchy but I'm going to respond.

A motorcyclist who was shot in an alleged road-rage incident in Jeffersonville this summer was involved in a similar case two years ago, according to court records.

Two years ago has nothing to do with what happened this year is what the argument will be. On another note we all know or have at least heard of someone being arrested and their past pops up as important to show their character. So twisted.

Wesley L. Mosier Jr., 53, also was convicted in 1974 of being an accessory to manslaughter for his involvement in the fatal shooting of a security guard in Harrison County, and was indicted but acquitted on a charge of reckless homicide in a fatal car crash a year later.

How does he keep getting indicted, but aquitted??? Maybe he's a real good liar? Just a wild guess.

He also has more recent convictions for marijuana possession and shoplifting.

Again where is the tough law for him?She (Parrish) is getting it so far so how is Mosier hiding under the rug?

Mosier was seriously injured in the Jeffersonville case: He was shot June 17 by Yalanda Parrish, who was indicted by a Clark County grand jury last month on charges of aggravated battery and criminal recklessness. Her trial is set for Nov. 10.

I wonder if his past going to be admissible. If so it may help her get a slap on the hand with a bruise.

Parrish told police she shot Mosier in self-defense, believing he was going to hit her when he got off his motorcycle and approached her SUV.

As much as she may have thought this you can't go on I thought he was,she was,they were,... Perhaps if she can get someone who witnessed that they even thought he was going to whack her then it might change things. Courts go with 'I know' more than 'I thought'. This will be tough for her for sure.

Mosier, who moved recently from Corydon to Clark County, was not charged. The grand jury wrote in its report that while he "clearly was not without fault … the deadly force used by (Parrish) was unreasonable under the circumstances."

Question is what is going to happen? They should at least remove his privilege(it's not a right) to drive.

In January 2006, Mosier and another driver were involved in an incident that both described as road rage to the officer who stopped them.

Sounds like the both of them should have had their privilege to drive removed.

It began with one driver passing and allegedly cutting off the other shortly before midnight on Ind. 135 north of Corydon.

Glad I wasn't near there!

The deputy reserve officer reported that Mosier was tailgating Patrick Pollock before the officer stopped both drivers. Both men were agitated, the officer wrote, and both were cited for speeding 70 mph in a 55 mph zone. Several attempts were made to reach Pollock.

I hope both got a big fat ticket and serious butt ripping from the officer. Such dangerous people! No regard for others that are innocent out there who may get caught up in their rage.

Patrick Stinson, who cited the drivers and is now an Indiana State Police trooper, said last night that he didn't witness the actual confrontation between the two drivers. But he recalled pulling over both men when he saw them speeding north on Ind. 135.

Both men were angry and cursing when he spoke with them, Stinson said.

He should have tased them for being ignorant hot heads.

Mosier's lawyer, Larry Wilder, says his client's criminal past is irrelevant to the most recent road-rage case because Parrish knew nothing about his background.

Well something was up. She didn't shoot the black fella who attempted to confront her,but she did Mosier. She really should explain the first time she had to pull her gun and explain why she didn't use it then. That may shed light on this incident as to why she felt she had to and didn't the time before.

Parrish's lawyer, Brian Butler of Louisville, disagreed.

Butler said Mosier's history is telling because a jury ultimately must consider who initiated the contact that led to the June 17 shooting.

Both of them seem to need a swift butt kicking and a serious lesson on how to conduct themselves as respectful people. Both should have their privilege od driving removed.

He said Parrish told him that people can second-guess her decision to shoot, but "they weren't there to see the look on that man's face."

I've seen that look before(if he had that look) and sure enough WHACK the girl got punched in the face by another girl thru the window. I drove around and away from it.

The family of Floyd Jorden has followed the Jeffersonville case with horror -- and some sympathy for Parrish.

Jorden, a 58-year-old minister who worked nights as a private security guard, was fatally shot 34 years ago, when he caught Mosier and his stepbrother, Charles Michael Chambers, both 19 at the time, stealing gasoline at a school construction site.

Chambers later admitted shooting Jorden with a shotgun, while Mosier pleaded guilty and served two years for accessory to involuntary manslaughter.

Only 2 years? Seems cheap.

Most of Jorden's family members declined to comment on the road-rage incident in Jeffersonville, but daughter-in-law Mary Jorden Lamb said nobody in the family could summon any sympathy for Mosier.

"Now he knows what it feels like to be shot," said Lamb, whose former husband, Leonard Jorden, died four years ago from lung cancer.

Milltown Police Chief Ray Saylor, who helped arrest Mosier on felony theft charges for shoplifting at a Marengo convenience store in 2002, said he wasn't surprised to hear that he was involved in the Jeffersonville incident.

Saylor said Mosier, jailed for several days after pleading guilty to theft in the shoplifting case, has a "history of provoking an incident." He recalled making several police runs to Mosier's home when Mosier lived in the Milltown area, but no arrests were made.

Hmmm I wonder what for.

According to Harrison County court files:

In August 1975 -- free on bond while awaiting the outcome of plea negotiations in the Jorden case -- Mosier was involved in a head-on collision that killed James Rumple, a utility company executive.

Police reported finding an empty liquor bottle in Mosier's car, court records said, and a grand jury indicted him for reckless homicide. But a jury later acquitted him.

I would have had to spend a good 20 years of my life in prison if it had been me. How does he keep doing this????

In 1991, Mosier was convicted of possession of marijuana, and served about eight months of a three-year sentence.

I thought the law was supposed to be tough. What's going on here?


Then married with two sons, he wrote the court from prison promising he'd rebuild his life, court records show. His son, Greg, also wrote Judge Carleton Sanders during his father's incarceration to ask for an early release.

"I know (he) has done a wrong thing, but I think he has served his time," the boy wrote.

Mosier was released in late 1991, only to be arrested a month later for drunken driving, leading authorities to revoke his suspended sentence for violating the terms of his probation.
