 The Floyd County Fiscal Court called a special meeting Thursday, July 6th, to pass a resolution to hire outside counsel for the fiscal court in regards to the murder of Amber Spradlin. In a previous press conference held by the family of Spradlin, their attorney stated they are considering pursuing legal action against the county. Councilmember Ronnie Akers raised concerns at the meeting stating the county had an attorney along with assistance and free legal counsel provided through CAICO, despite his opposition, the motion passed. Judge Executive Robbie Williams stated due to the unique nature of the case, he deemed it necessary to hire outside counsel. Williams and County Attorney Keith Bartley declined to comment on the court's decision. For updates on this case as it develops, stay tuned to Mountain Top News.
