Bevin’s Jail Time Under Fire | Louisville News

Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is locked up over a civil contempt warrant tied to his failure to turn over financial docs in his divorce case — but his legal team is fighting back hard, arguing he was sentenced without a chance to “purge” the contempt, turning jail time into punishment. They’re pushing for the warrant’s dismissal and say the documents are now irrelevant, suggesting it should be treated as criminal contempt instead — which could lead to house arrest and fairer due process. Meanwhile, attorneys for his adopted son, who intervened citing abuse, oppose this leniency, insisting Bevin shouldn’t get special treatment. The legal chess match rages on as Bevin’s team seeks release amid mounting courtroom drama. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
