IMPD's response is swift and brutal: [1] — Ashley Flowers "When the city refused to pay for a DNA retest after sending the wrong sample, Carter raised $1,200 in 7 hours via GoFundMe. IMPD made him r…" 30:50 return the money, stand down from Carmen's case, and accept a 10-day suspension — the first discipline of his career, from a man who had taken exactly 4 hours of sick time in his entire tenure. Ashley and Britt's outrage is palpable. Carmen's family calls him the only person to ever make progress on the case. A public petition quickly gathers over 500 signatures, and within days IMPD walks back the removal — but still won't fund the test, and Carter must now tread carefully to protect his job.
