I’m not sure what happened here, but it has to be a good one.
The Sherriff was on his last term and about to retire in 18 months. What would anger him so much that he had to go shoot that Judge?

Read some of the latest news releases. Apparently they were in the judge’s office, locked the door and exchanged cell phones. After looking at it the phone the sheriff pulled out his gun and shot the judge 6 times, apparently all caught on camera. Something screwy definitely going on.
Online rumor from the area is the judge was screwing the sheriff’s 17 year old daughter.
May or may not be related, at least some of these rapes occurred in the judge’s office.
“Online rumor from the area is the judge was screwing the sheriff’s 17 year old daughter.”
True or not, that is what I have read. I’ll reserve judgement until then. Heard it posited that the phone the sheriff gave to the judge wasn’t his own but instead his daughter’s?
Not sure what the backstory is but I suspect it’ll be pretty fvcked up.
When first reading the rumors I could understand to an extent.
Then I read about the deputy exchanging special treatment for sex from those roped in to the system and(if the judge/daughter rumor is true) it seems hard to believe the sheriff’s daughter would get picked as victim #1.
Yeah, it would be pretty bold to decide to do that to the Sherriffs Daughter wouldn’t it?
I’m not sure if it was the Daughter, but Family’s have a lot of extended Branches in that area.
My Family started off in Virgina waaaaay back in the day in what is now West Virgina/Kentucky area. Generations later they ended up with Land in Indiana, but the parts of my Family that stayed in Eastern Kentucky were nuts. It would seem anyone with ambition moved West, those who stayed behind literally “Stayed Behind.”
We would ocassionally venture back to see cousins, but it got to be rare as time went on.
It used to drive my Dad crazy, they were his kin, always out of work, gunshot or in Prison.
Damn. If the rumors are true, let him off with time served.
If true AND if the sheriff’s daughter was the judge’s first known victim, maybe.
I must admit, if I had found out that a so called trusted colleague and a friend had done it to my kid, I’d have done it too just from sudden rage alone.
They even had lunch plans before it had happened.
Perhaps people just made that up in search for a logical explanation. Porking his wife would be another logical explanation.
Whatever was on that video on the phone holds the answers.
Well the Sherriff went with “Not Guilty”.

The Sherriff was being sued because the Deputy that assaulted the Women worked for him.
The other side of that is that the Deputy spent his shift in the Judges Office and the sexual assaults took place in the Judges Offices.
I wondered when they would work some anti gun initiatives in to the mix.
"Some residents, including Butler, are calling for more adequate security protocols in the courthouse, such as installing a metal detector and adding security at the entrance.
“The Letcher County Courthouse is one of the last that you can walk into without a metal detector or security at the front door,” said Butler, called it “unacceptable.”"
They do know this is the Sherriff right? The metal detectors aren’t used on Law Enforcement working in the Building, right?
Undoubtedly, because the party calling for an anti gun move is like the sheriff in having the privelege of being able to go armed on private property against the choice of the property owner.
NJ attorney brings up the metal detector. The reason for that must be narrowed down to the rape victims to not be able to fight back since that wouldnt apply to cops, judges, or prosecutors.
Speaking of rape victims, their attorney is the most interesting part of the interview.
The latest.
Kidnapping claim.
This will be interesting when the facts get unraveled in court.
Ya it will.
Was the resignation an admission of guilt or could be seen as one to use as a plea bargain?
If they were going after his wife and/or daughter, I don’t have a problem with him plugging the judge. We need more of that, especially if it was a blackmail attempt. Judge certainly looks like a creeper in his pictures.
