District court judgment denying plaintiff's motion for a writ of execution to enforce a wrongful death judgment against third party defendant St. Joseph County is affirmed where the subsequent amendment to Ind. Code. sec. 34-13-4-1 does not apply retroactively, and thus St. Joseph County is not required to indemnify its public employees and compensate plaintiff for the conduct of its officers.
