Hardin County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney has been appointed by the State Attorney General as the Special Prosecutor to work on three unsolved, high-profile Nelson County cases. Late Friday afternoon, we obtained a copy of a letter dated January 4th from the office of Attorney General Daniel Cameron appointing the Honorable Shane Young as the Special Prosecutor effective that date. The letter states “this appointment shall be for the purpose of assisting this Office in the prosecution, if any, of potential criminal charges related to the deaths of Jason Ellis, Crystal Rogers and Tommy Ballard … or of any other criminal activity discovered as part of the investigations into those matters.” On Friday evening we reached out for comment from Shane Young.
