    Prosecutor Seeks Harsher Sentences for Kecmanovics in Appeal

    The Public Prosecutor's Office has filed an appeal seeking increased penalties for Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanovic, convicted for their roles in the fatal shooting of a minor. The prosecution argues that the initial sentences were too lenient and proposes new prison terms for both defendants. Vladimir Kecmanovic is accused of neglect and abuse, while Miljana Kecmanovic is charged with neglect and abuse of a minor. The prosecution disputes the mitigating circumstances considered by the first-instance court and believes there are no extenuating factors in their case.

    Kentucky's Drug Treatment Expansion Under Beshear Leads to Fraud and Abuse

    Gov. Andy Beshear loosened Medicaid spending controls in 2020 to expand drug treatment access in Kentucky, leading to a surge in treatment slots. However, this move also resulted in widespread fraud and abuse, with providers billing for subpar care and leading to worse outcomes. The largest provider, Addiction Recovery Care (ARC), was accused of Medicaid fraud, and the company's founder was indicted for wire fraud and money laundering. Despite warnings from experts and insurers, Beshear's administration did little to rein in spending until Republicans passed a bill requiring prior approval for treatment services in 2025.
