Former Deputy Acquitted
KENTUCKY...
An eastern Kentucky jury has acquitted a former volunteer deputy sheriff of charges in a man's death. The not guilty verdict was returned on charges of second degree manslaughter, wanton murder and reckless homicide that had been filed against Scott Moore. Moore, who was a special deputy in Harlan County, had been indicted in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Leslie Cox as the deputy tried to break up a fight in 2007. Cox's death occurred in Harlan County. The trial of Moore was moved to Rockcastle County.
