♪ ♪ >> Good evening and welcome to Kentucky.

Addition for Tuesday, October 24th.

I'm Chip Polston in tonight for Renee Shaw.

Thanks so much for watching.

Well, as a state wide audience watched the candidates for governor squared off for the 4th time last night right here on KET.

My colleague Renee Shaw moderated that conversation which included heated exchanges on several topics, including school vouchers.

Our June Leffler has more in this election.

23 update.

♪ >> Supporters for both candidates crowded K E T C studios last night.

Democratic candidate Andy Beshear tried to quell any nerves that he couldn't work with the Republican legislature.

I got sports betting and medical marijuana past things that took Democratic and Republican votes that they said they would never passed.

We said the lowest annual unemployment rate ever.

The lowest monthly unemployment rate ever.

The longest period of low unemployment that we've ever seen.

We work well behind the scenes.

It's just, you know, in politics.

What happens out front is often not what you see behind closed doors.

Cameron came after Bashir's handling of COVID-19 in the economy.

>> But at the end of the day, he has no relationship with the Legislature.

And Andy Beshear can say all he wants tonight that the economy is on fire.

Look, the Eagles had a that said something that to the extent of your lying eyes, you can hide your lying eyes.

Andy Beshear is lying to you nightly on the television in these debates.

The fact of the matter is the economy is not doing well.

You know it at home because you're having to work 2 or 3 jobs.

You know it at home because when you go to the grocery store, your bill is more.

Let's have a governor that will say to you tonight.

That if I am the next governor here, this commonwealth, we will eliminate Kentucky's income tax because I want to give you more of your hard-earned money.

>> Tensions rose from there when Bashir pressed Cameron on his stance on school vouchers.

>> They steal money from our public schools and send them to our private schools.

The reason he won't answer is he supports vouchers.

He has time and time again.

But what's concerning is he won't be honest with you and answer a direct question and look in the camera.

You deserve a governor that will do that.

Whether the answers for why will you not to the I I agree that we need to expand opportunity and choice, but this program and policy that put forth >> is about our public school starting for vets there.

When you were first shutting our schools down for 2 years starting from yesterday, you should our schools down for 2 years.

We have learning loss because of those shutdowns.

So you know what if your center bill, if you are elected governor that has scholarship tax credits or school vouchers, would you sign that measure until I would sign that?

But I want to make sure that people know that my plan, the Cameron catch-up plan is about our public schools moving from kids in schools to kids in state detention facilities.

Shah brought up recent allegations against Kentucky's Department of Juvenile Justice.

>> Officials with the Department of Public Advocacy said some juvenile offenders are being kept in isolation for up to 21 days at a time.

Governor Beshear, does this concern you that practices like these are happening at 2 youth offenders and is that the right approach?

I don't like isolation as a tool, but if you have someone that has attacked repeatedly, a number of officers put them at risk coming.

I know djj officers that have been in the hospital with injuries so seriously, they can't even come back it.

We've got to make sure we have a safe environment.

First and then we need to provide all the services that we can.

>> What the governor didn't say to you is that he's held anybody accountable.

The folks that have been in those in the J J are still in those offices.

He hasn't fired a person.

>> For all their differences, both candidates said kinship care where individuals are raising a family member's child deserves more financial support.

We know that our children are best when they have someone that truly loves them.

>> And supports them.

And that means especially when those are older, Kentuckians, we need to do everything we can to make sure their needs are met.

You know, one of the challenges that we've seen with the foster care system here as of late under this governor, is that too many kids are sleeping on floors and dilapidated buildings that has to end in part of the solution to that is expanding kinship care.

We'll work with our legislature to make sure that we find those additional resources in dollars.

>> The candidates have already debated at venues in Louisville, Paducah and Northern Kentucky.

They'll face off again tonight in Lexington on channel WKU.

It for Kentucky edition.

I'm John Leffler.

>> Watch the full hour.

Long debate yourself online on demand a K E T DOT Org slash Kentucky tonight and we will conclude our candidate discussion shows next Monday with the candidates for Lieutenant Governor, Democrat Jacqueline Coleman and Republican Robby Mills.

We'll take our questions and yours next Monday on Kentucky tonight at 8 Eastern's 7 Central right here on KET.

The Kentucky Supreme Court is considering whether a law meant to bolster the rights of child sex abuse victims can be applied retroactively in 2017.

The General Assembly passed a law allowing child sex abuse victims to sue their abusers 10 years after they turn 18 or 10 years after the abusers are convicted.

Then in 2021, the law was amended allowing the extension to be applied retroactively to misconduct before 2017.

It also allowed victims to sue non perpetrator.

3rd parties.

However, what was not clear was whether the amendment can be applied to cases where the statute of limitations expired.

One of those cases was before the justices last week.

Samantha CA Larry attempted to sue to Louisville police officers alleging they KET her father who is a police lieutenant with sexually abusing her and failed to report it.

She also sued Louisville Metro.

However, a circuit court ruled the statute of limitations ran out in the case and she could not sue.

CalArts representatives told the justices the 2021 amendment was intended to be applied retroactively.

Those on the other side said the claim expired and should not be revived.

>> When you look at these faces, this isn't like the current case where someone who weighs more than 2 years, the father plane is doing so just out of sheer a victim of child sex abuse has to jump through psychologically in order to pursue these flames, especially the base likes made the call, Laurie.

But this was her father that was committing this abuse.

So it takes a long time for those individuals decades.

Even if you look at the child via say statistics, most of the victims of child sex abuse don't come forward and tell their 50's and 60's.

>> The bottom line for us is that the 2021 amendments are not before the court because they were not addressed to me.

We're not address the trial court and perhaps most importantly, for all the evidence and everything that we have in front of his today, there's nothing in them to show that they should be applied retroactively for this reason.

The court should overrule the Court of Appeals decision to dismiss the case.

>> The representative for Louisville Metro also argued that the city has sovereign immunity in this case and cannot be sued.

Are you an active bystander?

Green dot Lexington is an issue is an initiative, rather created to teach people how to become one with hopes it will help curb violence in the city.

We spoke with Jon Runyan about Green Dot and what pushed her to get involved.

>> I grew up with a domestic violence and in my was a victim of domestic violence.

Early in my teen in a previous relationship.

And it was actually what I know now to be a bystander who help step.

And she was a woman who had befriended me.

She saw some of things that were happening in my marriage.

She heard and saw how acted and how I sound when my has been was around versus when he wasn't.

She just recognized a lot of talks to treat several going on in our relationship and saw how unhealthy it was and the risk that I was into potential death either by suicide from depression or at the hands of my abuser.

And she anonymously stepped in and reached out to someone on my behalf and that has changed my life.

When I saw the Green Dot program and that they wanted to implement that in the city.

And I was like it was a bystander to save my life.

So if I can encourage other people to be willing to step up and say something when they see or know about a family member or friend who might be in harm's way that I feel like I'm giving back and giving somebody else an opportunity that I'm so grateful that received green dot is a national evidence-based prevention That invites the community to reconsider their own personal role in helping to and to reduce domestic and sexual violence and child abuse in our communities.

You're a bystander because you're president, you're where you've heard or seen something going on with bystander awareness and prevention.

We want to take you from just seeing something going on to that trying to consider what it is.

You could possibly do in that moment to stop the situation from escalating.

So we're talking about being an engaged and active bystander.

Someone who not just season in can be a witness to tell someone after the fact what happened, but can actually take their own personal role and step into that situation.

And hopefully disarmed us.

Did de escalate try and convince individuals of another way that they can maybe handle a situation in that moment.

A tool called the 3 D's Direct delegate distract a easy ways common sense approaches intervene in that moment, taken their own consideration, their own safety into consideration.

First and then considering the safety of the other person and what's going to be most effective in that moment when we start to peel back the layers of what balance looks like and how it begins with our attitudes, with our conversations with what we accept in unhealthy relationships, purses, healthy relationships, then we can start to recognize that.

Okay, I could be a victim or I could even be a perpetrator of some form of harm that could then encourage domestic or dating or even gun violence.

A survivor knows how to survive.

That's why they're still surviving.

So the best ways to find out what their needs are, how you can support them through this and then get them resources, get them tools, get them skills, education, whatever it may be that they need.

>> To help them get to a place where they're safe enough to be able to get out of that situation and make a change for their family.

And with so that.

>> Green Dot was founded on the University of Kentucky's campus in 2006 and has made its way to high schools across the city.

Solving crimes can sometimes be a challenge.

That's why the federal ATF is partnering with the Appalachian High Intensity, Drug Trafficking area often referred to as high to to bring a mobile crime tracing lab to rural parts of Kentucky.

And as you're about to see, the lab is proving to be a useful tool.

There are a lot of firearms here >> ATF challenges to figure out whose possessing those firearms unlawfully, how they're being sourced and provided to individuals that are prohibited from having them and ultimately who's using them to commit violent crimes.

And so when you when you work in a state where that a lot of firearms and it's really important that we work with our partners in that we are really scrutinizing intelligence to help us figure out who should be the targets of our investigations.

We have 55 task force is led by federal, state and local agencies and we are many of those are in very rural areas.

Many times a task force may have search warrants conducted the where they come into contact with a numerous amount of >> weapons that need to be vetted through the system.

This mobile unit allows us to take this.

2.

There are locations that wouldn't otherwise.

They would not have the ability to access.

They would have to travel to a larger city to have the service staff.

There really is a unique opportunity for many of the smaller agencies.

This brings the sophistication to them.

That is available now on a nationwide level.

You place the firemen side and you fire ran a test route and the board has captured a safely home.

>> it's analyzed by a tech that's on site there.

And then that a forensic image is entered into the night and system, which is then transmitted to a T S a national correlation center which is based in Huntsville, Alabama.

They will add additional intelligence related to the possessor of those guns.

And that's what drives our best guess.

Strategy.

>> This helps U.S. start the timeline that tells us where it was purchased, who purchased it and when it was purchased, if its use another violent crime, if we have not recovered the crime gun, we continue to do this.

Not been processed until the the crime gun is officially recovered.

After that, we can put the timeline together and say it was purchased on this day by this person.

It was used in a violent crime a few months later, it was used in a homicide a few months after that.

And then a year after it was purchased, it was recovered.

>> It's like taking a fingerprint.

This is the new technology associated with firearms and allows, you know, each individual weapon will leave the state marking on the casing of a weapon that allows that to be compared with others that were seized across the nation to potentially investigation together with the crimes that were committed in other areas together helps him to better identify the drug trafficking organizations, their members and associates, the drug trafficking patterns.

And then who's in possession of firearms.

Who's using those goes to commit violent crime.

>> And where they're sourcing their firearms from.

It helps our investigators to make seizures to take crime guns off the street to see these dangerous drugs before they harm our communities.

This initiative is very important terms of public safety here in Kentucky.

>> According to Agent Sean Morrow, the Drug Task Forces and the Appalachian Hi to recover roughly 2000 guns a year that are used in or seized during the commission of a crime.

UK Hospital reports 5 cases of candy to Rs a fungus that spreads easily among patients and medical facilities.
