Whitley County Grand Jury Considering Sheriff Case
KENTUCKY....
Commonwealth's Attorney Allen Trimble called upon three experts Friday to testify before a Whitley County grand jury to determine if indictments will be handed down in the case against current Whitley County Sheriff Lawrence Hodge who is facing allegations of criminal wrong doing, along with his office. Friday's grand jury meeting was the first of what could be several, as more witnesses are expected to testify. The grand jury will meet again on July 30th. Trimble says the meetings will last at least 90 days, but he's unsure if there will be an extension or if the jurors will meet the deadline to vote on a decision.
