The two Southern Indiana judges were in Indianapolis for a judicial conference and were joined by then-Crawford Circuit Court Judge Sabrina Bell outside the fast-food restaurant.
The judges were out after a night of drinking and bar hopping in the city. Their last stop was the Red Garter Gentleman's Club adjacent to the White Castle, but the club was closed.
A surveillance camera captured the fight and shooting. The footage and other evidence related to the fight were not publicly released until Kaiser’s trial began, due to anKaiser’s defense team did not dispute that he shot the two men, but claimed the shooting was in self-defense during a three-day trial.
"Brandon was legitimately defending himself against a viscous and brutal attack,” the man’s defense attorney David Margerum told jurors. “That's all he was doing."During the fight, video footage showed Kaiser sitting on the ground, no longer actively fighting the judges, when he pulled a firearm out of his waistband, said Janna Skelton of the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office during Kaiser's trial.
"At that moment when he shoots Andrew Adams, it has to be justified that he was in imminent threat of serious bodily injury and that force was reasonable and it absolutely was not,” Skelton said. “Andrew Adams didn't touch him. He's standing there." The video also showed Kaiser pursuing Jacobs with the gun then shooting him while he is on the ground with Vazquez on top of him, the prosecutor stated.Contact Jake Allen at [email protected].
