Christian County Commonwealthâs Attorney Rick Boling made a motion to dismiss the forgery case of Hopkinsville City Council Member Kimbery McCarley, 51, Monday morning in Christian Circuit Court Judge John Atkinsâ court, however, the judge postponed the motion.
McCarley is a current Hopkinsville City Council Member who was indicted on second-degree forgery on Aug. 16, 2019.
McCarley appeared in Atkinsâ court Monday morning, however, her defense attorney Ben Fletcher failed to appear in court for McCarleyâs pretrial conference.
Despite Fletcher not appearing in court, Boling advised the judge that he would be moving to dismiss the charges against McCarley.
âIn preparing for the trial, the conduct that the commonwealthâs key and lead witness, I think warranted a misdemeanor offer and the problem is, since Ms. McCarley was not indicted until approximately three years after the conduct, itâs not within 12 months of the indictment or the charge,â�
The third suspect involved in a robbery at Burkeâs Outlet parking lot received his final sentence Wednesday afternoon from Christian Circuit Judge Andrew Self.
