You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The only thing you can really hope for from a mass list of this kind, from that type of outlet is most people looking at it and being like, "Yeah, that definitely could be worse," which NYT has achieved each time IMO. But we all get to be happy and mad about some particular point so it's still fun.

Today is my last day at the Lexington Herald-Leader. After more than seven years as a journalist in my home state of Kentucky and more than four on this wonderful team, I'm embarking on a new (and unknown) chapter. But first, I'd like to recap some of my favorite work for @kentucky.com.

Obviously I have a lot of thoughts about the layoffs, but one thing that's driving me insane is how many people are ready to blame this on, 'well if they didn't have so many typos' or 'their Facebook feed is just a bunch of junk from outside KY.' Folks, that's missing the forest for the trees.

It's Flock O'Clock somewhere. Mayor Gorton is creating a panel to review the city's Flock cameras. There's been a lot of pushback against them recently, both nation and statewide, largely due to police abuse. And the Bluegrass DSA is capitalizing on that momentum. www.kentucky.com/news/local/a...
