Harlan County Man Indicted
KENTUCKY....
When twenty-eight year old Phillip Osborne of Evarts (Harlan County) appeared in court this week for a pre-trial conference in an assault case, he was served a new indictment with a charge including wanton murder. The new indictment stems from a 2007 car crash on KY 38 at Coxton that claimed the life of his passenger, 16-year-old Dustin Middleton and injured then 22 year old Shannon King. According to the police report, Osborne was traveling east on KY 38 when he crossed the center line, overcorrected and lost control of his vehicle, causing it to rotate and strike the front end of a vehicle driven by 47 year old Connie Peace, overturning Osborne’s vehicle upon impact.
