Letter: Cash Bond Ann Pearson writes: My concern over doing away with cash bond is that other places have let people out without cash bond only to have them commit worse crimes while out awaiting trial. They just turned them out on the street and worse things happened. I'm all for fair bond based on charges but no bond. They knew they didn't have bail money and committed a crime anyways so to just let them go seems dangerous. --AnnComments re: DPA petitions KY Supreme Court for Bail Reform 2020-01-22 10:44:06 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Kyle Witmer speaks about peace at CU chapel service By Scarlett Birge Campbellsville, KY - Opening Campbellsville University's first chapel service of the spring semester with the theme of "Jesus Our Peace," Kyle Witmer, pastor and missionary to Thailand, said, "You are not expected to be at peace." "Peace is elusive," Witmer said. He said peace is often defined as "being without conflict. However, conflict is inevitable and "stress is very real," he said. Reading from John 16:33, he spoke of the troubles of the world and how we can trust in the Lord to help overcome our struggles. Witmer said having external peace of being in physical comfort can often lead to the belief that it is equivalent to internal peace. Reading from Colossians 3:15, he said internal peace can only come through Christ.

DPA petitions KY Supreme Court for Bail Reform By Cara Lane Cape Frankfort, KY - - The Department of Public Advocacy, acting on behalf of 10 named clients who are representative of hundreds of clients throughout the Commonwealth, asked the Supreme Court of Kentucky on Friday to use its authority over the Court of Justice to establish clear constitutional rules for pretrial release decisions by trial and appellate courts in the Commonwealth. With this petition, for the first time in Kentucky, the Supreme Court is being asked to decide if "money bail," the practice of conditioning someone's freedom on whether they can come up with a certain amount of cash, is constitutional. Five of the clients in the petition are currently in jail with cash bail, meaning if they only had more money, they would be free. The Department argues that this system violates the Constitutional mandates of due process and equal protection under the laws because someone's wealth cannot be a valid basis to distinguish between incarceration and freedom.

State of Adair County report from Judge Executive Cowan Each new year the Judge is asked to give a State of the County report at the Columbia Adair Chamber of Commerce meeting. This is the second report from Judge Executive Cowan looking back on her first year of experience. By Adair County Judge Executive Gale B. Cowan As I sit and reflect on 2019, it was a good year. On January 6, 2019 I took the oath of office to become your new Adair County Judge Executive. I have tried to see everyone who came in my office and return calls to the ones that came in and I wasn't available. I know I haven't made everyone happy with my decisions, but that was one of the first things I learned... If you make everyone happy, you probably aren't doing your job right.
