Fayette Searchlight

Today, Saturday, September 12, 2015, marks the nine-month anniversary of the sealing of the 5th Presentment of Fayette County Grand Jury No. 2.

Incontrovertibly, Fayette County Grand Jury No. 2, after sifting through evidence and hearing testimony, issued a 5th Presentment against an individual.  After the two-year tenure of the investigating grand jury and after an additional nine months time, the citizens of Fayette County still do not know against whom the presentment was made and what the charges are.  

At a nine-month remove from the December 12, 2014, sealing of the 5th Presentment, with two election fraud referrals from the May 24, 2012, Fayette County Election Board meeting, one must wonder whether outgoing Fayette County District Attorney Jack R. Heneks, Jr. will indict the subject of the 5th Presentment or whether he will leave office without issuing an indictment.  Will Heneks allow the job to fall to the next district attorney?

Being that no indictments have issued from the Office of the Fayette County District Attorney in the two other unanimous election board referrals on election fraud in Fayette County, and being that only one presentment remains sealed, the foul stench one smells emanating from the direction of the Office of the Fayette County District Attorney is that no serious investigation into at least one of the election fraud referrals ever took place.

Being that the citizens of Fayette County paid for the investigating grand jury, it is incumbent upon District Attorney Jack R. Heneks, Jr. to issue an indictment against the individual named in the 5th Presentment.  Heneks must move to unseal the presentment before he leaves office.  Moreover, if the presentment involves another one of the three election-related referrals made to his office by unanimous vote of the election board, Mr. Heneks will have much explaining to do.
