Going to be interesting what a jury will do. The age of consent in Kentucky is 16 so unless the judge was a coach or teacher or something, that is a legal relationship. And that sheriff went vigilante to murder a man.I have friends in the legal community in Kentucky. The rumor the day after the murder was the judge was in a relationship with the sheriff's daughter, who is 17 and a senior in high school.

I think they should put him in jail for life but a Kentucky jury may disagree.

Saw this earlier today. The 15 year old tried to frame his 13 year old brother for the murders, but the surviving 11 year old sister was able to escape and reveal the truth to authorities. Such a terribly sad and tragic event.

“… Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama also had higher firearms death rates than Mexico, where rival drug cartels are engaged in bloody conflict. Montana’s death rate from guns was higher than in Colombia, where drug trafficking is rife.
Wyoming, Arizona and Oklahoma all ranked above Brazil. Suburban New Jersey had a higher gun death rate than Nicaragua, Mali and Djibouti.
In June, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy declared gun violence a public health crisis — putting it on a par with a 1960s warning on the lethal consequences of cigarette smoking.
…
Globally, the United States ranks in the 93rd percentile for overall firearm mortality, the 92nd percentile for firearm mortality among children and teenagers, and the 96th percentile for firearm mortality among women, the report found.
U.S. states have a higher firearm mortality rate than most other countries in the world. Rates of self-harm are also much higher. Black, American Indian and Alaska Native people experience the highest rates of any racial or ethnic group…”

OTOH, I bet their deaths from being pushed out of windows is lower than Russia.

ATLANTA (AP) — A 25-year-old man who was found with a weapon while leaving the shooting scene at Tuskegee University in Alabama early Sunday has been arrested and charged with a federal offense, authorities said.
A statement released by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency identified the man in custody as Jaquez Myrick of Montgomery and said he was found in possession of a handgun with a machine gun conversion device. He faces a federal charge of possession of a machine gun.
It wasn’t immediately known if Myrick had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf, and the statement did not say whether Myrick was a student at Tuskegee University where the shooting occurred early Sunday as the historically Black university’s 100th Homecoming Week was winding down.
The shooting left one person dead and injured 16 others, 12 of them wounded by gunfire. Authorities say an 18-year-old man who died was not a university student. But some of the injured were students. …”
