Corrupt sheriff was brought down by a University student.. Whitley county is the only one that doesn't send drugs for disposal to a central statewide disposal facility. Nobody can prove corruptions until two students start digging. Cops get mad and start threatening them. Money laundering, theft, extortion, threats are all uncovered. Lexigton police finally bust the guy for 18 year sentence. Not a single blip in the national news. I often wonder if there's more justice stories out there that we never hear because it isn't useful as a component of a larger narrative.
There is always going to be more news than people can consume.
