Gibson Superior Court Judge Earl Penrod sentenced former CPS supervisor Gayle Edelen
Edelen was found guilty last month of three counts of perjury and a count of official misconduct, all class D felonies
EVANSVILLE — A Gibson County judge told a former Child Protective Services supervisor Thursday that her lying in court regarding the case of a 17-year-old runaway being held at the Southwest Indiana Regional Village "cuts the very heart of the system."
Gibson Superior Court Judge Earl Penrod made the comment during the sentencing of Gayle Edelen, who was found guilty last month of three counts of perjury and a count of official misconduct, all class D felonies.
Penrod sentenced Edelen to 540 days in the Gibson County Jail. The entire sentence, except for 60 days, was to be suspended. So with good time credit, the 54-year-old will serve a total of 30 days in jail — roughly the same amount of time the 17-year-old spent at the Southwest Indiana Regional Village.
