Story courtesy of myq104.com Albany, Ky. (January 16, 2018) – Tpr. Jason Warinner is investigating a collision that occurred today at 12:14 PM CST on the US 127 bypass, 1 mile south of Albany. 44-year-old Joseph Coop, of Albany, was operating an eastbound 1999 Ford Explorer on KY 738 when he failed to yield the right of way to a northbound 2018 Nissan SUV on US 127. The SUV was operated by 43-year-old Carey Miller, of Rickman, TN who was treated for non life threatening injuries at Clinton County Hospital.
Joseph Coop was pronounced dead by the Clinton County Coroner at the hospital. It is unknown if Mr. Coop was belted at the time of the collision. Carey Miller was wearing a seatbelt. Tpr. Warinner was assisted by the Clinton County Sheriffs Department and EMS. Attorney General Andy Beshear has taken legal action against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its rollback of net neutrality regulations.
Beshear joins a coalition of state attorneys general in a legal fight to protect families from the harmful actions recently taken by the FCC. “I’m opposing the repeal of net neutrality because of the destructive nature it will have on every Kentuckian from farmers to college students who use free and open internet to thrive and prosper,” Beshear said. “As a state and as a nation, we cannot turn our backs on the hard working people of this country by letting the federal government walk all over them and take away their level playing field.” Beshear and the coalition today filed a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, formally commencing the lawsuit against the FCC and the federal government. The group maintains the FCC’s recent action violates the federal Administrative Procedure Act and numerous state and local laws. The FCC voted to rollback net neutrality regulations Dec. 14, and made its final rule public Jan. 4. The rule would take effect upon approval by the federal Office of Management and Budget and 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. Beshear and the group of attorneys general are asking the U.S. Court of Appeals to not let this happen and return to previous established net neutrality protections. The Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team is ranked No. 2 in the latest NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll after received 211 voting points and four first place votes, the national office announced on Tuesday.
The Blue Raiders (17-0) are the only remaining undefeated team left in the NAIA. The ranking is the highest for Lindsey Wilson since being ranked No. 2 on March 6 during the 2012-13 season. William Penn (Iowa) takes over the No. 1-ranking for the first time in program history, receiving 215 total points and four first-place votes. Rounding out the top five is No. 3 LSU Shreveport (La.), No. 4 The Master's (Calif.), and tied for the No. 5-ranking is Mid-South Conference member Georgetown (Ky.) and Columbia (Mo.). Three other MSC programs join Lindsey Wilson and Georgetown in the top 25. Pikeville (Ky.) fell six spots to No. 12; Cumberlands (Ky.) jumped six spots to No. 18, as Life (Ga.) is the No. 25-ranked team. Campbellsville (Ky.) fell from the top-25 but finished in the receiving votes section with 10 voting points. The Blue Raiders return to action on Thursday when they host No. 25 Life (Ga.) at 8 p.m. CT at Biggers Sports Center. Attorney General Andy Beshear said a newly created unit in his office focused solely on investigating and prosecuting sexual assault cold cases will be instrumental in maintaining his ongoing commitment to seek justice for victims of crime.
“Now that a majority of our untested SAFE kits have been tested, this unit can begin working with local and state officials to investigate and prosecute cold cases across Kentucky,” Beshear said. “While we still have a lot of work to do, today’s announcement is a giant step forward in keeping our promise to victims, many who have been waiting years, even decades, for movement or closure on their cases.” The unit, funded by a $3 million U.S. Department of Justice National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) grant awarded to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, will include a victim advocate, investigator, prosecutor and a SAKI coordinator from the three-year U.S Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance funding. The funding will also cover the cost to test any remaining untested sexual assault forensic exam or SAFE kits, mainly boomerang kits, ones that were sent to the Kentucky State Police crime lab, not tested for various reasons then returned to law enforcement agencies. Beshear said with the grant paying for the testing of up to 1,500 additional SAFE kits, it means every kit in Kentucky will be tested without exception. Beshear said the cold case unit in his office includes professionals with decades of experience in law enforcement, prosecution and victim advocacy. The unit includes:
Upon taking office, Beshear made providing justice for victims of sexual assault and ending Kentucky’s SAFE kit backlog a top priority. The SAFE Act of 2016 (Senate Bill 63) ensures the submission of all SAFE kits, requires police receive training to conduct victim-centered sexual assault investigations and sets timelines for testing kits. In 2016, Beshear provided $4.5 million in settlement money to lawmakers to fund requested KSP crime lab upgrades and provided an additional $1 million from the settlement to aid law enforcement and prosecutors in conducting victim-centered investigations and prosecuting sexual assault offenders. Early on, Kentucky secured funding to test 3,300 SAFE kits in an effort to reduce the backlog. According to www.kentuckybacklog.com, 3,173 backlogged SAFE kits have been tested. As of Nov. 28, 2017, 415 DNA profiles had been created that produced 174 DNA CODIS hits. Beshear said the grant also supports the Kentucky SAFE Kit Backlog Research Project, an effort the AG’s office is collaborating with the University of Louisville. Beshear’s office has held multiple state trainings on the SAFE kit backlog; launched the collaborative research project with the University of Louisville to provide accountability to address the backlog; collaborated with the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs to hold the #VoiceOfJustice video contest to raise awareness of sexual assault on campus; and created a Survivors Council. |
