The US Supreme Court on Monday disbarred a Kentucky lawyer and former district attorney who, among other scumbaggery, in 2019 wrote a letter to then-outgoing Gov Matt Bevin asking him to pardon a man who in 2014 had raped an unconscious 15 year-old boy, the Courier Journal reports.
In February, Republican former Third Judicial District prosecutor Richard Boling was given 40 days to show cause to Los Supremos on why he shouldn’t be disbarred for the letter written in December 2019 seeking a pardon for then 25 year-old Dayton Jones which argued that the shitbag had been targeted by Democratic prosecutors because of a political vendetta against his grandparents, who were Republicans donors. Boling had apologized and owned up to the letter in 2020 – after Bevin freed Jones on year three of a 15 year sentence and commuted the requirement that he register as a sex offender for life. Jones is now again behind bars, having been sentenced to eight years in a federal prison for production of child pornography. Boling hung on to the job until January 2023 before resigning while the state House of Representatives brought up impeachment articles.
