Should TN's botched execution affect KY's death penalty? State's lawyers argue no

A Franklin County judge will decide whether he wants to add or remove claims from a death penalty case that has rolled on for more than two decades. In the latest twist in a long case, attorneys for several of Kentucky’s death-row prisoners asked Judge Phillip Shepherd to reconsider claims he previously dismissed in a death penalty lawsuit after the failed execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike. David Barron, an attorney for 13 of Kentucky’s death row prisoners, filed a motion in October asking Shepherd to reinstate two claims to the lawsuit that, if successful, would allow attorneys of inmates to view IV insertion, and to have prompt access to a telephone during their client’s IV insertion. Barron pointed to Pike’s failed execution as a reason why Kentucky should implement these two measures during executions. But the state and department of corrections disagree, saying that bringing the claims back is speculative. “Even Tennessee doesn’t know what happened,” said department of corrections attorney Crystal Thompson. “What happened in Tennessee doesn’t have an effect on what is happening here.” At a hearing Tuesday afternoon, Shepherd heard arguments from both sides and plans to take them into account before a decision is

A virtual academy in Kentucky has had 3 years of low scores. What to know

A Kentucky school district with a virtual academy saved by state lawmakers in 2025 has now logged a third straight year of poor academic performance. Cloverport Independent’s elementary, middle and high school levels all received the state’s lowest ratings in 2024, 2025 and into 2026, though some grade levels showed modest gains this year. FULL STORY: KY lawmakers saved a virtual school. Now it has 3 straight years of bad scores Here are five key things to know from our reporting: Enrollment imbalance: Cloverport Independent has 230 in-person K-12 students, while 2,073 students attend its Kentucky Virtual Academy — about 90% of the district’s total enrollment. Latest scores: In October, 2026 results showed Cloverport elementary students remained at a “red” rating, the state’s lowest, while middle and high school levels rose slightly to “orange.” Superintendent’s response: Keith Haynes said many virtual students “were not experiencing success in traditional schools and came to us with significant academic deficits,” and told families he doesn’t believe the state’s accountability model “adequately accounts for our context.” How it stayed open: The 2025 General Assembly passed legislation barring enrollment caps on virtual academies, overriding a Kentucky Department of Education rule that would have limited virtual

There was a miracle this election day in Texas. And a blip in Kentucky. After years wondering the political woods, Texas Democrats emerged with a vengeance on Nov. 3, electing a U.S senator, state constitutional officers from the governor on down and assuming control of the state House, thus providing hope to Democrats in similar states that have operated for years under Republican control.

Will Jim Beam distill next year in Clermont? The latest on Kentucky's bourbon giant

Major Kentucky distillery Jim Beam, which stunned the world in December 2025 b y closing its Clermont distillery for a year , plans to keep it offline at least through 2027. “We’re going to continue to have distillation paused at our Clermont distillery,” said Suntory president and CEO Greg Hughes in an interview with the Herald-Leader. “But Clermont remains a very active part of our Kentucky operations.” The campus, which has been the bourbon brand’s home just outside of Bardstown for 90 years, continues to operate tours and visitor experiences as well as bottling, aging, warehousing and other daily activities. But the bulk of distilling shifted to the larger industrial Booker Noe distillery in Boston. Hughes said that after a $400 million expansion there a few years ago that increased distilling capacity by 50%, Beam was able to meet current distilling demands there while making improvements at the Clermont site. They’d originally planned to reopen sooner and still will someday. “We’ll move back at some point to distilling at Clermont,” he said. “If demand accelerates dramatically, we have the flexibility to go back into production at Clermont. Obviously, we need to get the infrastructure improvements made, which will take us
