Raleigh County Sheriff's Deputies Cleared
- {West Virginia}...A federal jury says Cpl. Gregory Kade and former deputy John Hajash, two Raleigh County Sheriff's Deputies involved in the fatal shooting of a Cabell Heights man, didn't do anything wrong. Kade and Hajash say they shot Robert Webb after he pointed a loaded, semi-automatic rifle at them in his driveway of his home on July 4, 2006. A lawsuit filed by Mary Webb, the widow of Robert Webb, claimed the officers were negligent and denied Webb medical treatment as he lay dying. Hajash suggested he and his onetime partner were put in a position where they had no choice but to fire on Webb after they were called to his home in the wee hours of the morning to investigate a neighbor’s complaint he had been firing a weapon toward his house.
