MADISONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The district attorney general for Monroe County will not immediately release the autopsy report of a local election commissioner whose body was discovered in a burning car.

The jail from hell
Most inmates are housed two, sometimes three to a cell the size of a walk-in closet, despite a court order requiring that the jail place inmates in individual cells to keep predatory inmates away from weaker ones.
And far from protecting inmates from jailhouse violence, the poorly trained, badly paid and demoralized guards — who are themselves at great risk of physical harm — practice it themselves, according to lawsuits. Last month, two inmates arrested for DUI filed separate suits. One alleges guards broke his jaw for not answering a question correctly. The other accuses the guards of providing poor medical care after other inmates, wanting his diamond ring, broke his ankle and his fingers. (After being caught stealing from inmates, guards are now no longer allowed to confiscate their charges’ valuables.)
I still hope that his wife-remarried-knows something about this and comes forward. It is time.
Thanks, but still lots of questions. Guess everyone has lots of them at this time.
