Former State Police Commissioner Gary Rose was hoping to win a couple million dollars damages in his whistleblower lawsuit against the state of Kentucky. The trial began June 19th in Floyd County. That's Rose's home county. He claims in his lawsuit that Governor Patton fired him in 1999 because Rose was a whistleblower, revealing misspending and other dirty deeds being done by the head of Patton's security detail, Trooper Pat Simpson. 4 CommentsLeave a comment |

Way off the Mark!! If the Justice Cabinet attorneys, as you refer to them, were so confident, why did they try to settle before the trial? If they did their work, they should have known that Gary lost the sheriff's election and there was no particular community love for him. And if you had done your work, you would know that Rose had to sign a confidentially agreement to settle. The details of the settlement will never be known since the Justice attorneys want the agreemment sealed. Sounds to me like it's the Justice Cabinet that doesn't want the facts disclosed. If testimony about an affair would have been so damaging, why did the Justice attorneys, as you call them, agree to settle. Why? They had a losing case!!!!! You're wrong about the trial not getting to the guts of the case. Since Patton testified, the guts were displayed. The only part of the case not presented was that of the Justice Cabinet. All of Rose's witness testified. How many Justice Cabinet witness testified? Perhaps none!!! Sounds like you've been dupped, Mark.
Wow! I remember when all this went down when Patton was Governor. I thought Rose was a hero in Eastern Kentucky. Did they have pictures?
