Some prosecutors are notably more eager to avoid jury trials than others. I don't know what his warrants were for but he was only charged on that day with misdemeanors. Usually it's Jefferson County going easy. The OAG's Special Prosecutor took 4 months to decide he wanted to indict Handy after our commonwealth attorney fumbled with the case for 2 years. Now they're under the microscope for how they handled Stumler, Wood, Betts, Cano, etc.
