Misty Noel's guilty plea in question after judge watches TV interview
SUMMARY: Misty Knoll’s guilty plea to theft and tax evasion connected to Jamie Knoll’s crimes is now in question after Judge Medlock watched her TV interview. The judge filed an order potentially setting aside her plea, noting Knoll’s claims during the interview that she did not knowingly and intentionally commit the crimes. In the interview, she expressed remorse but denied intentional wrongdoing, contradicting her guilty plea. This development may lead to Knoll facing a jury trial. Her attorney now must argue against contempt of court charges for making these public statements. The timing of any trial remains uncertain.

Typical July weather this week across the commonwealth
SUMMARY: After a holiday weekend marked by pop-up storms, a frontal boundary in the Ohio Valley brings scattered showers and storms to Central and Eastern Kentucky. Despite this, Monday’s highs reached the upper 80s with sunshine. The unsettled weather will continue Tuesday with scattered afternoon storms, heavy rain, and gusty winds possible, but no widespread severe weather expected. From Wednesday to Friday, a warm, humid, and repetitive pattern persists with daily afternoon storms fading by night and highs in the mid to upper 80s. Heading into the weekend, another boundary may cause more scattered storms, with consistent highs near the upper 80s.
