Report: Boling to resign Feb. 28

Christian County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling will reportedly resign prior to facing potential impeachment proceedings from the Kentucky General Assembly.

Representative Jason Nemes, who last week introduced resolutions to consider impeachment against Boling and an Eastern Kentucky prosecutor, tells the Courier Journal that he’s been notified Boling will resign February 28.

As previously reported, Boling sent a letter containing false information to former Governor Matt Bevin while advocating for a pardon or commutation for convicted sex offender Dayton Jones and had an attempted murder and arson conviction against Karen Brafman overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct.
