HAPPY EASTER TO ALL
This will be a short one. As discussed in the previous post and the comment section of that post, yesterday the University's motion to have Dr. Kearney's case dismissed went before a newly appointed judge, Judge Reynolds. The outcome of that was, this new judge simply kicked the can down the road. After lengthy arguments on both sides, Judge Reynolds informs everyone that "his wife is a recent hire at UK Gill Heart Institute”. He offered to recuse himself because of this conflict of interest. He then asked both sides to prepare an opinion on their arguments in 30 days and he will rule if he is still on the case. Dr. Kearney’s attorney has until Tuesday to file a motion to have him removed from the case. Unfortunately this will probably relegate him to another “Big Blue Judge" from Fayette Circuit Court. Like I said, this is really a David vs. Goliath battle.
The real question here is: “if Judge Reynolds knew he had a conflict when the case was assigned, why did he wait until the date of the court hearing to make that known?” Makes you wonder where this judge received his law degree? Let’s see, okay there it is:

“Reynolds, also a graduate of UK’s law school, has spent the past 18 years handling personal injury, civil litigation, criminal defense, family law, probate and personal injury cases.”
The other caveat in this fiasco is that Judge Reynolds is only temporarily appointed to this circuit judge position until elections in November. Talk about a corruptible legal system.
