    I am looking for court transcripts, or even the incident reports and medical examination/autopsy information from a fatal hit and run that happened in Indianapolis around 9-10 years ago. (I was not involved)

    I have tried MyCase and DoxPop but all it gives is a party name, case number, and running record of events in that trial... not the details I am looking for.

    Lots of sites offer to sell me random stuff but I don't know which to trust.

    Can I get some help please?...

    Go to the clerk of the court where the trial was held. Ask if the transcript is ready yet,they are taken in a shorthand that the recorder tends to know exclusively and needs time to translate into readable English. (at least in my experience).

    In any case you fill out a form, pay a fee and wait for them to mail it to you. Pretty easy really and it isn't a big deal, fees are generally low for them and you will have the transcript before too long.

    Might also find it online at the court's website, they ar usually public, and can get it there too. Probably can call and ask as well what the different ways you can get a copy.
