TV STATION REPORTS ON WHY VIOLENT CRIME CASES THROWN FROM CLAY COURT

(12/30/2015)

WCHS TV 8/CLAY, W.Va. - Controversy is swirling in Clay County after two violent crime cases never made it through the court system. In a special report Tuesday evening on Eyewitness News, we take a look at two examples where victims of violent crimes believe the court system has failed them. Rodger King spent time in the intensive care unit. Troopers said the man who attacked him confessed and was charged with malicious wounding. King and his family don't understand why Prosecutor Jim Samples' office threw out the case. "They just threw the whole thing out like it never happened And that is the furthest thing from the truth," King said. "I died in the hospital." On Eyewitness News at 10 and 11, Dan Matics takes King's story to the former head of the state Bar and the West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Institute and asks why this case was thrown out and why it never had a chance to be heard by a grand jury.
