When Moore found that two foster parents had criminal records, a son living with them had multiple felonies, and a convicted sex offender visited and, sometimes, cared for the children, she refused to arrange an adoption. Her supervisors responded to her complaint with a memo suggesting the adoption proceed quickly.
“Our theory is that the basis for this is the tie to the federal money,” Moore’s attorney, Tom Beiting said. “That every time a child is not placed in the home comma the state of Kentucky through its Cabinet is losing money”.
After she was fired, Moore filed suit and last month, the Commonwealth paid $380,000 to settle it.

hmm.. looks like sumth was amiss here, eh?

The U.S. Army has charged Brent Burke with two counts of premeditated murder.

Army officials say he shot his estranged wife, Tracy Burke, and Karen Comer at a Hardin County home in 2007.

Burke was tried four times in civilian court, but all ended in mistrials or hung juries.

Prosecutors dropped the charges against him last month.
