Head Prosecutor Resigns

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Todd Lewis, head of special prosecutions for Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway’s office for the past four years, resigned Friday. Lewis says he has been discussing new opportunities in public service for some time after serving the last 12 years as a prosecutor, including as an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in Louisville. Lewis, who prosecuted hundreds of cases, ranging from elder abuse and fraud to murder and public corruption, says he and Conway agreed they would part on mutually pleasant terms, and he expects he will continue to receive only the highest commendation from Conway for his service to his office and to the prosecutorial system.
