On the night of August 5, 1983, Indianapolis Police Department officers responded to a break-in alarm at a downtown business. Richard E. Coates was apprehended inside the business. A window had been broken, Coatess finger was cut, and there was blood at various places inside the building. Coates did not have the owners permission to be in the building. On March 8, 1984, trial by jury was held. Over objection of counsel, Coates appeared before the jury with a chain around his waist, and his hands cuffed to the chain. Coates was found guilty as charged and sentenced to five years. Additional relevant facts appear within the Discussion.
