{Harlan, Kentucky}...Former Harlan Circuit Court Judge Russell Alred filed a petition last week requesting the Kentucky Supreme Court to rehear his case. The Kentucky Supreme Court issued an opinion last month that denied Alred's bid to return to the bench after he was ousted for misconduct. In that opinion, the high court upheld eight counts of misconduct and reversed one, but agreed Alred should be removed from the bench for his "pattern of misconduct, displaying disregard for the law and the Kentucky Code of Judicial Conduct."
