Indiana Supreme Court gives new trial to Doroszko

UPDATE: In November 2023, Doroszko pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter as part of a plea agreement. He was sentenced to four years with Community Corrections with one year suspended. 


ORIGINAL STORY:

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Supreme Court has granted a new trial for Kyle Doroszko, the man who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Traychon Taylor in April 2019.

In the February 1 decision, Justice Molter said the original trial court "violated Indiana Trial Rule 47(D) by denying [Doroszko's] counsel the opportunity to voir dire prospective jurors directly."

During the jury selection process, the Court of Appeals did not let Doroszko's defense team question prospective jurors directly, according to court documents.
