Kentucky's Attorney General has been pursuing an investigation of Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) since last year; in May, he finally won an indictment charging political favoritism in Fletcher's administration. Today, he got bad news. From the AP:
A judge on Thursday dismissed charges against Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher that had accused him of breaking state law by basing personnel decisions on political considerations. A lawyer for the Republican governor had been negotiating a settlement to the misdemeanor charges for the past two days, Democratic state Attorney General Greg Stumbo said Thursday.
The special judge assigned to the case, David E. Melcher, dismissed the charges Thursday with prejudice, meaning they can't be brought again.
Yes, he is, but we have to remember this is a family website. ;-)
I just pray that people like Prod who is no better than a Nazi or a KKK member with his hate of christians, never has children or if some are unfortunate enough to be his a good man is raising them.
Fletcher will be lucky if this story is on page A-52 of the NY Times.
