Arrests to Convictions: Which Charges in Marion Stuck?

When a crime is truly shocking, strange, important or even amusing, we'll often cover it as it moves through the legal system, but the vast majority of charges reported in our blotters are never written about again. 

What happens to those charges? Do those arrested get convicted? If not, what kind of sentence did they get?
