Has the county hired a gang to attempt to defend it yet? Mighty hush, hush up on the hill.

Any updates or new info on these lawsuits yet?

No problem. Look at the post that I posted about Buchanan. Tell me how many times I was I wrong?

Btw, a fact is something proven, not something you’ve stated.

A certain amount of spelling errors are overlookable. But at a point it starts to give reason to discount the content.

Spelling is a great thing for those that only looks at the spelling. Personally, I see through the spelling errors and look at the content.

If Kenya wanted to getting tutored - He could get adopted by Price, and he'll get tutored... And, that's a fact Jack!

Tabs, the lawsuit may be only be about Buchanan and his thugs but If I see something wrong that affects tax payers, you can bet that I will say something.

Hey, I don't mind Bucky as the next Sheriff. What I do mind is something that can cost me as a taxpayer. If you feel like Price should be allowed to continue until there is another civil case which could cost the County hundreds of thousands.. or, even more. I would have to say that your stupid.

K-baby did you even graduate 6th grade? Spell check is a wonderful thing.

Okay KB, if the evidence shows she did something wrong so be it. Bucky was not, and is not Sheriff of Ashe......YET!


If she is to be disciplined or not is up to Sheriff Hartley.

BTW I find it really hard to believe Price as a jailer has enough influence in the judicial system to determine where an inmate serves his sentence.

Tabs, Let me ask you a few simple questions...

If the so called evidance showed us that ms.pruce had someone paint chairs for her son or daughters wedding, would you concede, that it is wrong? what if she was worried that word would get out and gave the chairs away as if toif she\d conceal it.

what tif this is a fact & dat I know someone that seen the evidence with her own eyes, would it make any difference? what if I told you that she had another inmate, we will call him Steve. Steve was a teacher that was allowed to stay in ashe county jail (not wilkes where he was sentenced) on the condition that he tutored her child while he was there? hope something like that does not bother u even if ur tax money paid for it?

my, I was happy to see the other female hired under buchyanan get axed because I tought it was wrong hiring someone out of the tounty who may not have been an asher county tax payer? (Point be'in, I dislik'ed Buchyanan)

worry not little one, these things will probably get posted online and come out. she knows the evidence exist. she has probably even seen it herself maybe you can ask her if she will show it to you?

i wonder if she showed it to lucky yet? the question that was asked was, Will bucky do anything to correct his mistake in rehiring her or will he ignore it until the evicence is released?

it seems like a fair question for blubird to ask.

What is the evidence against Price Blubird? Have you actually seen it? I believe you are just upset because Buchanan's pick for Chief Jailer was terminated. Maybe she would have developed into a good Cheif but she wasn't in there long enough to find out. Since you are into hearsay here's something for you, rumor has it she was terminated because they didn't trust her because her and Clayton had become so chummy.


This lawsuit is about the Buchanan administration not Bucky.

Keep in mind that bucket is not the sheriff. The sheriff in this case would have had to approve her hiring. Obviously he did. Now wonder what he thinks about that decision?

It will certainly get interesting between now and the end of the year as motions & discovery come out. I imagine that the Internet, tv & newspapers will be all over anything that comes out of this case as it generates so much traffic. That is why I was amused to hear about the evidence found on the current jail commander..

I didn't jump in when everyone was criticizing Bucky for rehiring her - even though from what I was hearing, didnt they give her a raise so she could buy dentures? Didn't some jailers quit and others get uspet & complain about her long smoking breaks and she refused to help other jailers? Didn't some even complain about her showing favoritism & gossiping? It's my guess that some of that will now come to surface and who knows, maybe other lawsuits will arise from her slanderous comments? or, additional trustees will come forward claiming that she made them trustee if they had something to offer her personally in return. (I.e. tutoring her son)

Either way, her rehiring seemed like a bad idea idea to many if not most, but now that there is actual evidence floating around, it seems like Bucky has an obligation to correct the wrong rather than sweep it under the rug or deny it like, Buchanan and his cronies would have done.

JR, It is the same in every court in the land. The day Jeff Sessions took his oath of office, every lawsuit in the country against every government agency was by law, immediately amended to read vs Jeffrey Sessions, Attorney General. He immediately became the most sued man on the planet. When a new Sheriff is sworn in, this lawsuit and any others still pending, will be amended the same way. The only was Bufurt or Mr. Hartley will remain a defendant is if they are sued In their personal capacity.

The prize hog trial has no comparison what so ever to the law suit against bufurt and his thugs. Of course the suit wont see the inside of a court room. It will be settled and the four justly compensated.

Just remember some here thought Hoppy's prosecution was a slam dunk. It wasn't and at the end of the day he walked.

While certainly reading the brief might have one believe this is a slam dunk case, I've never read a brief that didn't seem like a slam dunk for the side that wrote it. Thing is someone has to lose. Most good lawyers throw everything they think about at it, in the hopes that some of it sticks.

There are no surprise witnesses or last minute statements fully 80-90% of a case from what will be presented, who will testify, what questions will be asked, etc are all decided long before the trial.

I'm not defending Buchanan or what he's done, I never was for him to begin with, but folks should manage their expectations. It is very likely that as much as half of the claims/charges never actually make it to the trial.

I'm also personally not a big fan of precedental law, where so long as someone ruled a certain way at a certain time that that applies forever even if common sense dictates differently. It teaches lawyers and judges to be lazy, to quote a case and ask for a ruling the same as another case. That's how many rights have been infringed upon as slowly step by step the courts take your rights away by precedent.

Well, I suggest you ask an attorney. As you said, you aren’t one and reading filings doesnt teach the law.

jrscott295

No I never claimed to be a lawyer. Yes I read that, but I don't see where the current Sheriff needs to be named, there is no statute requiring it. They could have just named the Ashe County Sheriff's Department though I do believe there is a law against that and this seems a reach around to circumvent that statute.

However any case filing makes the strongest case for whichever side is fining a motion, that doesn't mean the judge won't throw out portions of the lawsuit. I'm sure the defendants initial filings will appear just as legally sound, they usually do citing obscure cases and such when necessary.

I've read enough of both types of filing to know how both sides try to make it sound like a slam dunk, it never is. However in Buchanan's case his openly and publicly making statements as he did through the paper is going to make his case much harder to defend. I wouldn't be surprised if his lawyers push for settlement outside of court as well.

Also keep in mind someone could potentially motion to make it a class action suit considering how many people were let go under Buchanan's Administration. If that happens the plaintiffs will probably get very little in the end. They obviously want 4 million which I doubt they ever get, everyone sues for the maximum amount allowed, few ever get the maximum amount allowed. The court could also combine lawsuits if they are similar making it a class action. Make no mistake though ultimately the taxpayers will be paying for it through increased insurance premiums in the future etc.

Oh and has anyone read the actual insurance contract, I bet there are provisions that allow them to get out of paying. I bet Buchanan crossed a few of those lines.

There was a case where a state employee sued and was rewarded his job back plus back pay because the court said using resources allocated for other purposes to conduct an internal investigation was not legal.
